The Keg-Weeping Water Watershed (HUC 10240001) covers an area of approximately 1,242 square miles in southeastern Nebraska. The hydrology of the region is dominated by the Missouri River, which forms the eastern border of the watershed. The region experiences a continental climate with four distinct seasons. The average annual temperature is around 53°F, and the average annual precipitation is approximately 30 inches. The area experiences significant snowfall during the winter months, with an average snow depth of around 6 inches.

There are several reservoirs in the region, including Branched Oak Lake and Pawnee Lake, which are used for recreation, irrigation, and flood control purposes. The watershed is home to several unique species of wildlife, including the endangered Topeka shiner fish. Concerns have been raised about the impact of climate change on the region's water resources, with potential implications for agriculture and other industries.
