The South Fork Forked Deer watershed covers an area of approximately 1,840 square miles in western Tennessee. The hydrology of the watershed is dominated by the South Fork Forked Deer River and its tributaries, which provide surface water for agricultural, industrial, and residential use. The area experiences a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and mild winters. Snowfall is rare, with occasional light accumulations that quickly melt. Reservoirs in the watershed include the Gibson County Lake, Carroll County Thousand Acre Lake, and the Akins Creek Watershed Lake. These reservoirs provide recreational opportunities for fishing and boating, as well as water storage for irrigation and municipal water supply. The South Fork Forked Deer watershed has experienced some drought conditions in recent years, leading to concerns about water availability for agricultural and municipal use. However, efforts are being made to improve water management practices and increase water conservation in the area.
