Lower Prairie Dog Town Fork Red

Watershed Hydrology

The Lower Prairie Dog Town Fork Red Watershed (HUC 11120105) covers an area of approximately 3,334 square miles in the Texas Panhandle. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River and its tributaries. The region experiences a semi-arid climate with hot summers and cold winters. Snowpack is rare, and precipitation typically falls as rain. Surface water is limited, and the area relies heavily on groundwater resources. There are several small reservoirs in the watershed, but they are primarily used for livestock and agricultural purposes. The watershed is susceptible to drought and has experienced several major drought events in recent years. Climate change is expected to exacerbate these trends, leading to more frequent and severe drought conditions in the region.
