  • NIAGARA RIVER WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN (Phase I)
    NIAGARA RIVER WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN (Phase I) Chapter 2: Watershed Characterization The Niagara River Watershed is located along the western most portion of New York State and drains into the Niagara River, the channel that connects two Great Lakes - Erie and Ontario – and divides the U.S. from Canada. New York State has a total of 17 major drainage basins. The Niagara River Watershed is included within the larger Lake Erie/Niagara River Drainage Basin. Lake Erie and the two principal rivers of the watershed, Buffalo and Niagara, receive waters from over 19 smaller tributaries within the watershed. In total, the watershed encompasses 903,305 Aerial of the Niagara River (NASA) acres of land, 3,193 miles of watercourses, and several small lakes and ponds within the Counties of Erie, Niagara, Genesee, Orleans and Wyoming. Watershed Boundary & Sub-watersheds Within New York State, the Niagara River Watershed is largely made up of eleven smaller sub- watersheds (See Niagara River Watershed Map on following page), each of which has defined boundaries based upon a 10-digit Hydrological Unit Code (HUC). The U.S. Geological Survey established the hydrological unit system as a basis for watershed planning on science-based hydrologic principles, rather than favoring administrative boundaries or a particular agency. The codes are structured in a hierarchy system to identify smaller sub-watersheds nested within larger watersheds. Table 2.1 below lists the eleven sub-watersheds that are part of the Niagara River Watershed, their 10-digit HUC, and
