The Maple Watershed (HUC 10230005) covers an area of 888 square miles in northeastern Pennsylvania. It is characterized by a combination of agricultural, forested, and urban land use. The watershed is drained by various tributaries that flow into the Susquehanna River. The hydrology of the watershed is influenced by the topography, precipitation, and soil types. The region experiences a seasonal snowpack that contributes to surface water during the spring melt. Surface water quality is generally good, but there have been issues with sedimentation and nutrient loading in some areas. There are several small reservoirs in the watershed that provide water to local communities. Interesting climatic facts include that the region experiences a humid continental climate and has seen an increase in precipitation over the past few decades. There has also been a trend towards warmer temperatures, especially in the winter months.
