The Lower White Watershed (HUC 05120202) spans across 1,036 square miles in Arkansas and Missouri. The hydrology of the watershed is mainly influenced by the White River, which flows through the center of the basin. The watershed experiences a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. The area is prone to flash flooding due to heavy rainfall, and the floodplain is home to various species of plants and animals. The watershed is also home to the Beaver Lake Reservoir, which provides drinking water and recreational opportunities. The snowpack in the watershed is generally light, and surface waters are influenced by agricultural and urban runoff. The watershed has experienced changes in land use, including forest loss and urbanization, which may impact water quality and quantity in the future.
