The Snake Watershed (HUC 09020309) is located in the Pacific Northwest region of the US and covers an area of approximately 28,000 square miles. The watershed's hydrology is dominated by snowmelt from the mountains, which contributes significantly to surface water flow. The specific snowpack in the region is highly variable, with some areas experiencing more snow accumulation than others. The surface water in the Snake Watershed is used for irrigation, hydropower generation, and municipal water supply. Reservoirs in the watershed are primarily used for flood control and water storage. Interesting climatic facts and trends include increasing temperatures, longer and more severe droughts, and earlier snowmelt. These trends may have significant impacts on the hydrology and ecology of the watershed, as well as the availability of water resources for human use.
