The Upper North Loup Watershed is located in central Nebraska and is a sub-basin of the larger North Platte River Basin. Its land area is approximately 1,004 square miles, and its hydrology is dominated by agricultural land use. The watershed experiences a semi-arid climate with hot summers and cold winters, resulting in minimal snowpack accumulation. The surface water in the watershed is primarily supplied by the North Loup River, which is used for irrigation and recreation purposes. There are several reservoirs in the Upper North Loup Watershed, including the Davis Creek Reservoir, which is used for flood control and recreation. In recent years, the watershed has experienced increased flooding due to heavy rainfall events. Additionally, there has been a trend towards increased temperatures and decreased precipitation in the region. Overall, the Upper North Loup Watershed is an important resource for the surrounding communities and requires careful management to ensure its continued sustainability.
