The Lower Mississippi Memphis Watershed (HUC 08010100) covers an area of approximately 13,670 square miles and is located in the southern United States. The hydrology of the watershed is heavily influenced by the Mississippi River and its tributaries, which provide significant amounts of surface water for the region. The area experiences a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and mild winters. Specific snowpack is not typically a major factor in this region, as snowfall is generally infrequent and minimal. Surface water in the watershed includes numerous streams, rivers, and lakes. Reservoirs within the watershed are primarily used for flood control, navigation, and energy production. Interesting climatic facts and trends in the region include a general trend towards increased precipitation and more frequent extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding. The region has also seen a rise in average temperatures, which has led to concerns about the potential impacts of climate change on water resources and ecosystems in the area.
