Watershed Hydrology

The Little Watershed (HUC 11090203) is a small watershed located within the Upper Klamath River Basin in northern California. It covers an area of approximately 114 square miles and is characterized by a mountainous terrain with elevations ranging from 2,500 to 8,000 feet. The watershed is heavily influenced by its hydrology, which includes a complex network of streams, creeks, and springs that feed into the Klamath River. In terms of surface water, the Little Watershed is home to a number of small reservoirs and impoundments that are used for irrigation, recreation, and other purposes. The watershed also contains a specific snowpack, which plays an important role in maintaining water availability during the summer months. Climatically, the Little Watershed experiences a Mediterranean climate with dry summers and wet winters. However, recent trends suggest that the region may be experiencing increased drought conditions due to climate change. Overall, the Little Watershed is an important ecological and hydrological system that plays a vital role in the health and sustainability of the larger Klamath River Basin.
