The Tippecanoe Watershed (HUC 05120106) spans across parts of Indiana and Ohio, covering a land area of approximately 2,028 square miles. The watershed is primarily fed by surface water and receives an average annual precipitation of 40-45 inches, with snowfall accounting for a small portion of this. The main hydrologic feature of the watershed is the Tippecanoe River, which flows through the area and eventually empties into the Wabash River. The watershed contains several reservoirs, including the Freeman Reservoir and Lake Shafer, which are used for various purposes such as recreation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation. Water quality testing has shown that these reservoirs contain constituents such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment, which can pose threats to aquatic life and human health. In terms of climate, the Tippecanoe Watershed experiences a humid continental climate with warm summers and cool winters. Recent climatic trends show an increase in extreme precipitation events and a decrease in snowfall. These trends can have implications for water quantity and quality in the watershed.
