The Flambeau Watershed (HUC 07050002) is located in northern Wisconsin and covers an area of approximately 1,865 square miles. The hydrology of the watershed is characterized by numerous streams and rivers that flow into the Flambeau River, which ultimately empties into the Chippewa River. The region experiences cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers. The snowpack in the watershed plays a significant role in regulating water flow and providing seasonal water supplies for lakes and streams. Surface water quality in the watershed is generally good, with some exceptions due to agricultural and urban runoff. There are several reservoirs in the watershed, including the Lake Mohawksin Reservoir, which is used for hydroelectric power generation and recreation. Interesting climatic facts in the region include the annual snowfall of around 60 inches and the increasing trend of extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and flooding.
