South Concho

Watershed Hydrology

The South Concho Watershed (HUC 12090102) is located in west-central Texas and covers an area of approximately 1,445 square miles. The watershed is characterized by a semi-arid climate with hot summers and cool winters. The hydrology of the watershed is largely influenced by the Concho River, which flows through the area and provides a vital source of surface water for the region. Snowpack is not a significant factor in the South Concho Watershed due to the region's relatively warm temperatures. Surface water in the watershed is primarily derived from rainfall and runoff from the surrounding hills and plains. The primary reservoir within the watershed is the O.H. Ivie Reservoir, which provides an important source of water for irrigation and municipal use. The reservoir also supports recreational activities like fishing and boating. Interesting climatic facts and trends in the South Concho Watershed include an overall warming trend and increased frequency of extreme weather events like droughts and floods. These changes are expected to have significant impacts on the region's water resources and ecosystems in the coming years.
