The Middle White Watershed (HUC 11010004) covers an area of approximately 1,151 square miles, and is located in the eastern part of Wyoming. The hydrology of the watershed is driven by the flow of the North Platte River, which runs through the area. The watershed's specific snowpack is influenced by the local climatic conditions, which can vary greatly from year to year. Surface water in the watershed is primarily used for irrigation, with reservoirs constituting a significant portion of the water storage capacity in the area. Interesting climatic facts for the watershed include the relatively low average annual precipitation, which is around 12-13 inches, and the presence of frequent drought conditions. Trends in the area suggest that there may be increasing pressure on water resources due to a growing population and changes in land use patterns.
