Flint-Rock

Watershed Hydrology

The Flint Rock watershed (HUC 17010202) is located in central Texas and covers an area of approximately 190 square miles. The hydrology of the watershed is dominated by intermittent streams and springs, which flow into Lake Georgetown. The area experiences a semi-arid climate, with hot summers and mild winters. Snowpack is not a significant factor in this region. Surface water quality in the watershed is impacted by urbanization and agricultural activities, with high levels of sediment, nutrients, and bacteria being present in some areas. Lake Georgetown, the primary reservoir in the watershed, is used for water supply, recreation, and flood control. Interesting climatic trends in the region include an increase in extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, which can have significant impacts on water resources. The Flint Rock watershed is also home to a variety of plant and animal species, including the endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler, which relies on the area's unique oak-juniper woodlands for nesting habitats.
