Watershed Hydrology

The Coon Yellow Watershed (HUC 07060001) covers an area of approximately 148 square miles in Oklahoma, USA. The area is characterized by a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. The watershed is drained by numerous streams, including Coon Creek, Yellow Creek, and Jones Creek, which ultimately flow into the Red River. The watershed is primarily agricultural, with crops such as cotton, soybeans, and wheat being grown in the area. The hydrology of the watershed is heavily influenced by precipitation and snowmelt, which can lead to flash flooding during heavy rainfall events. The snowpack in the watershed is typically shallow, with an average snow depth of less than 5 inches. Surface water quality in the watershed is generally good, although there are occasional issues with elevated levels of nutrients and sediment. There are no major reservoirs in the watershed, although there are several small ponds and lakes used for irrigation and recreation. Interesting climatic facts and trends in the area include an average of 40-45 thunderstorm days per year and a trend towards warmer temperatures in recent decades.
