The North Wichita Watershed (HUC 11130204) covers an area of approximately 1,095 square miles in Kansas. It is primarily a mixed-grass prairie ecosystem with rolling hills and agricultural land use. The hydrology of the watershed is influenced by the Little Arkansas River and its tributaries, which provide surface water for irrigation, recreation, and drinking water. The watershed also experiences snowfall during winter months, which contributes to its surface and groundwater resources. Reservoirs in the watershed store water for various purposes, including flood control, irrigation, and municipal water supply. The climatic trends in the area show that the North Wichita Watershed has been experiencing increased temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events in recent years. These trends have the potential to impact the area's water resources and ecosystem.
