Watershed Hydrology
The Village Watershed (HUC 12020006) covers an area of approximately 35 square miles in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The hydrology of the watershed is influenced by both snowpack and surface water, with the snowpack typically melting in late spring and early summer and contributing to the surface water flow. The surface water in the watershed is dominated by several small streams and tributaries that eventually flow into the Snoqualmie River. The Village Watershed also contains a reservoir that is used for municipal water supply. The reservoir's constituents include a variety of organic and inorganic compounds, including nitrogen and phosphorus. In terms of interesting climatic facts and trends, the watershed experiences a high level of precipitation, with an average annual rainfall of over 80 inches. Climate change is expected to impact the precipitation patterns in the region, potentially leading to more frequent and severe drought conditions.
