The Charlie Little Muddy Watershed (HUC 10060005) is located in northwestern North Dakota and covers an area of approximately 1,527 square miles. The watershed is characterized by a semi-arid climate with average annual precipitation of around 16 inches. This region is dependent on snowmelt for its water supply, with snowpack accumulation typically occurring from November to April. The snowpack melts during the spring and summer, feeding surface water sources such as streams and reservoirs. The primary reservoirs within the watershed are Lake Sakakawea and Lake Darling, which are important sources of water for irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses. These reservoirs also provide recreational opportunities for fishing, boating, and camping. In recent years, the watershed has experienced periods of drought, which have impacted water availability and quality. Additionally, the area has seen an increase in extreme weather events, such as heavy precipitation and flooding. These trends highlight the importance of sustainable water management practices in the Charlie Little Muddy Watershed.
