    Oklahoma City’s Drinking Water Keywords: planning - watershed & strategic, public health, restoration, in a Struggling Watershed stormwater, water quality The Oklahoma City Watershed Organization Name: The North Canadian River—a key component of Oklahoma City’s watershed—runs 441 miles from New Mexico to Central Oklahoma, where it joins the Canadian River and Lake Eufaula. Oklahoma City channels much of the river water into reservoir lakes, including Hefner and Overholser, which together with the other regional lakes, supply drinking water to the city and surrounding neighborhoods. The Oklahoma Water Resources Board, lakes are also stocked with popular fish, and residents use the lakes sub-grantee of the Oklahoma and river for recreational boating and rowing.

About the Organization: The mission of the Oklahoma Water Both Lake Hefner and Lake Overholser have a long history of Resources Board (OWRB) is to eutrophication, a harmful condition characterized by lack of oxygen, protect and enhance the quality of resulting in excessive algal growth and death of wildlife. Eutrophic life for Oklahomans by managing conditions are caused by nutrient-rich runoff from point sources (such and improving the state’s water as factories and sewage treatment plants) and non-point sources (such resources to ensure clean and reliable as stormwater carrying pollutants and agricultural fertilizers). water supplies, a strong economy, and a safe and healthy environment.

  • North Canadian River
    NONPOINT SOURCE SUCCESS STORY Protecting and RestoringOklahoma the North Canadian River, Oklahoma City’s Water Supply, Through Voluntary Conservation Programs Waterbody Improved High bacteria concentrations resulted in the impairment of the North Canadian River and placement on Oklahoma’s Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters in 2006. Pollution from grazing, hay production and cropland areas contributed to this impairment. Implementing conservation practice systems (CPs) to promote improved grazing and cropland management decreased bacteria levels in the creek. As a result, a segment of the North Canadian River was removed from Oklahoma’s 2016 CWA section 303(d) list for Escherichia coli. Portions of the North Canadian River now partially support its primary body contact (PBC) designated use. Problem The North Canadian River is a 441-mile stream flowing from New Mexico and Texas before it flows into Lake Eufaula in eastern Oklahoma. Poor management of grazing and cropland contributed to listing a 105.34- mile segment as impaired for E. coli in 2006 when the geometric mean of samples collected during the recreational season was 135 colony forming units/100 milliliters (CFU/100 mL) (Figure 1). The PBC recreation designated use is impaired if the geometric mean of E. coli exceeds 126 CFU/100 mL. Oklahoma added this North Canadian River segment (OK520530000010_10) to the 2006 section 303(d) list for nonattainment of its PBC designated beneficial use. Land use in the 760-square-mile watershed of the listed segment is approximately 41 percent row crop, which is used almost exclusively for winter wheat production.
