The new fork watershed, HUC 14040102, covers an area of about 1,177 square kilometers in Wyoming. It is located in the Upper Green River Basin and is characterized by a high elevation mountainous terrain with an average elevation of 3,000 meters. The watershed is fed by snowmelt and experiences a high amount of snowpack during winter months. This snowpack contributes significantly to the surface water resources in the watershed, with the majority of the water originating from high elevation snowmelt runoff. There are several reservoirs in the watershed with the most significant being the Green River reservoir, which is used for irrigation, drinking water, and recreation. The watershed is also home to several species of fish, including the native Colorado cutthroat trout. In recent years, the watershed has experienced a decreasing trend in snowpack due to warmer temperatures, which has led to reduced water availability and increased wildfire risk. Climate projections indicate continued warming, which may have significant implications for the hydrology and ecology of the watershed in the future.
