On August 6, 1983, heavy rainfall caused flooding in the Pepacton Reservoir in New York, leading to the tragic death of Terry Clove Kill.

The area has a history of flooding due to its location in the Catskill Mountains and the hydrology of the reservoir. The reservoir is fed by several streams, including the East Branch Delaware River and the Beaver Kill, and is used for drinking water, hydroelectric power, and recreational activities such as fishing and boating. The area also has a significant agricultural industry, with dairy farms and apple orchards. Snowpack is a significant surface flow provider in the winter months, which contributes to the water levels in the reservoir. Despite the tragedy, the Pepacton Reservoir remains an important resource for the region.
