The Running Water Draw watershed is located in West Texas and covers an area of about 1,036 square miles. The hydrology of the watershed is characterized by intermittent streams and arroyos that typically dry up during the summer months. The area receives an average of 14 inches of precipitation annually, with most of it falling during the winter and spring months. The watershed is also known for its unique snowpack, which can accumulate in the higher elevations during the winter months. Surface water in the Running Water Draw watershed is limited, with most of it flowing into the nearby Lake Alan Henry reservoir. This reservoir provides drinking water to the city of Lubbock and is also used for recreational activities such as boating and fishing. In recent years, the Running Water Draw watershed has experienced drought conditions, with below-average precipitation and snowpack levels. This has led to concerns about the sustainability of the area's water resources and the potential impacts on agriculture and other industries.
