The hydrology of the area is dominated by the Mississippi River and its tributaries, including the Loosahatchie River. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. Snowfall is rare and typically does not accumulate significantly. Surface water in the watershed is affected by agricultural activities and urbanization, leading to issues with water quality. There are several small reservoirs in the area used for flood control and water supply. The main reservoirs include Horseshoe Lake and Shelby Forest. Interesting climatic facts include that the region is prone to flooding due to high precipitation and proximity to the Mississippi River. Trends in the watershed include efforts to improve water quality through conservation and management practices.
