The Mora Watershed (HUC 11080004) is located in northern New Mexico and covers an area of approximately 322 square miles. The watershed is predominantly forested and mountainous, with elevations ranging from 7,000 to 13,000 feet above sea level. The hydrology of the watershed is characterized by a snow-dominated regime, with snowpack typically accumulating from November through May. This snowpack contributes to the surface water runoff that feeds the Mora River, which flows through the center of the watershed. The reservoir constituents of the watershed include several small reservoirs used for irrigation and municipal water supply. Climatically, the watershed experiences a semi-arid to sub-humid climate with an average annual precipitation of around 20 inches. In recent years, the watershed has experienced a trend of decreasing snowpack and earlier snowmelt, which has significant implications for water availability and management in the region.
