Lower North Canadian

Watershed Hydrology

The Lower North Canadian watershed (HUC 11100302) is situated in the southern United States, covering approximately 3,800 square miles of land area. The area is characterized by a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and mild winters. The watershed has a diverse hydrology system with numerous streams, rivers, and lakes. It is also known for its significant snowpack, which contributes to the watershed's surface water supply. The watershed contains several reservoirs and dams, which are used for drinking water, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation. Interestingly, the watershed has experienced a noticeable increase in annual precipitation levels over the past few decades. This increase in precipitation has resulted in occasional flooding and changes to the water quality of the reservoirs. Additionally, the watershed has experienced a trend in decreasing snowpack levels, which may have significant implications for water supply in the future.
