Watershed Hydrology

The White Watershed (HUC 15010011) covers an area of 555 square kilometers and is located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is a part of the larger Androscoggin River Basin and is characterized by its high elevation and rugged terrain. The watershed is fed by several streams and rivers, and its hydrology is influenced by the abundant snowpack during the winter months. The surface water is used for various purposes, including recreation, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation. The reservoirs within the watershed contain sediment and nutrients that affect the water quality. The White Watershed is also known for its extreme weather conditions, with heavy snowfall during the winter months and occasional extreme weather events such as ice storms and flooding. In recent years, there has been a trend towards milder winters and less snowfall, which may have significant impacts on the hydrology and ecology of the watershed.
