Watershed Hydrology

The Boyer Watershed (HUC 10230007) covers an area of approximately 38,670 acres in northern Idaho. The area is characterized by mountainous terrain and dense forests. The hydrology of the watershed is dominated by snowmelt, with a specific snowpack that accumulates in the winter months and melts in the spring and summer. This snowmelt contributes significantly to the surface water in the area, which is mainly composed of small streams and tributaries that eventually feed into the Moyie River. There are no major reservoirs or lakes within the watershed. Climatic trends in the Boyer Watershed show a warming trend over the past few decades, with increasing temperatures and decreasing snowpack. This has led to concerns about the future of the watershed, particularly in terms of water availability during the dry summer months. The area is also prone to wildfires, which can have a significant impact on the hydrology of the watershed. Overall, the Boyer Watershed is an important ecological and hydrological area, and efforts are underway to protect and manage its resources.
