Lower Brazos-Little Brazos

Watershed Hydrology

The Lower Brazos Little Brazos watershed is located in Texas and covers an area of approximately 3,652 square miles. The hydrology of the area is dominated by the Brazos River, which runs through the watershed, providing surface water for agriculture and other uses. The watershed receives little snowpack due to its location in a warm and humid climate. The surface water in the watershed is mainly used for irrigation, and the reservoirs in the area provide drinking water for nearby communities. Interesting climatic facts and trends include the high variability of precipitation, with frequent droughts and floods. The area is also prone to severe storms and hurricanes, which can cause significant damage to the watershed. In recent years, there has been a trend towards drier conditions, which has led to concerns about water availability in the future.
