Red Cedar

Watershed Hydrology

The Red Cedar Watershed is a hydrological unit located in Michigan, covering approximately 1,430 square miles of land area. It is characterized by a temperate climate with an average annual precipitation of 36 inches, which is distributed evenly throughout the year. The watershed is fed by surface water and snowpack, which contribute to the hydrological cycle. The snowpack in the watershed is influenced by lake-effect snow, which can result in significant accumulations of snowfall. Surface water in the watershed is impacted by various constituents, including nutrients and sediment, which can affect water quality. The watershed is also home to several reservoirs, which help regulate water flow and provide recreational opportunities. In recent years, the watershed has experienced increased precipitation and higher temperatures, which can impact water availability and quality.
