The Upper East Fork White Watershed (HUC 05120206) spans over 285 square miles and is located in southeast Indiana. The watershed is composed of forested areas, farmland, and small urban areas. The hydrology of the watershed is heavily influenced by the East Fork White River, which flows through it. The area receives an average of 42 inches of precipitation per year and experiences a humid continental climate. The watershed is also known for its heavy snowfall in the winter months. The surface water quality is generally good, with minor issues related to sedimentation and nutrient runoff from agriculture. The watershed also has several reservoirs, including the Brookville Reservoir, which serves as a major source of drinking water for the region. In recent years, the watershed has experienced an increase in extreme weather events such as flooding, likely due to climate change.
