The Clearwater Watershed (HUC 09020305) spans over 2,000 square miles and is located in north-central Idaho. It is characterized by mountainous terrain and diverse ecosystems, including forested areas, wetlands, and grasslands. The watershed is fed by precipitation and snowmelt, which contributes to the flow of several major rivers, including the Clearwater and Lochsa Rivers. The snowpack in the watershed is important for water supply during the dry summer months, and its variability can impact water availability for agriculture, hydropower generation, and other uses. The surface water quality in the watershed has been impacted by mining activities in the past, but efforts to remediate the impacts are ongoing. Interesting climatic trends in the Clearwater Watershed include a recent increase in springtime precipitation and a decrease in snowpack, which may have implications for water resources management in the future.
