The Lower Wind Watershed (HUC 10080005) is located in northern Wyoming and covers an area of approximately 1,662 square miles. The hydrology of the watershed is dominated by the Wind River Mountains, which receive significant snowfall during the winter months. This snowpack provides a significant source of surface water for the watershed during the spring and summer months. The surface water in the watershed is primarily used for irrigation, and the reservoir constituents include agricultural runoff and sediment. Interesting climatic facts and trends in the Lower Wind Watershed include the presence of Chinook winds, which can cause rapid temperature fluctuations, and the fact that the area experiences relatively low precipitation levels. In recent years, the area has experienced drought conditions, which have impacted agricultural production and led to increased wildfire risk. Efforts are underway to address these challenges and promote sustainable water management practices in the Lower Wind Watershed.
