The Hall Run Watershed
A watershed is like a big bowl where all the rain and snow that falls drains into a specific river or stream. The Hall Run watershed covers an area of about 12.15 square miles (31.5 km2).
- This area gets a good amount of rain, about 48.3 inches (122.7 cm) each year.
- About 72% of the land in this watershed is covered by forests. This is important because forests help keep the water clean and healthy for plants and animals.
