The Lower Ohio Little Pigeon Watershed, located in southern Indiana, covers an area of 1,706 square kilometers. It is primarily drained by the Little Pigeon Creek, which flows into the Ohio River. The watershed experiences a humid continental climate, with average annual precipitation of 1,020 millimeters. Snowfall is common in the winter months, and the area typically receives around 25-30 inches of snow annually. The watershed includes several reservoirs, including Patoka Lake, which serves as a source of drinking water and recreation for the region. Water quality within the watershed is impacted by agricultural runoff and urbanization. Recent trends in the area include an increase in heavy precipitation events and warmer average temperatures, potentially increasing the risk of flooding and drought. Efforts are underway to address water quality concerns and mitigate the impacts of climate change on the watershed.
