Watershed Planning and Management

   The easiest way to approach natural resources management is at the watershed level. A watershed is a defined area, like a county boundary, that includes high ridges and low valleys. Typically, it is the general drainage area for a group of water bodies like streams and lakes.  Watersheds are organized by hydrologic unit codes. In Faulkner County, we have four 8 digit Hydrologic Unit Code (H.U.C.) watersheds. 8 digit H.U.C.'s are the largest watersheds that we use for land management.  8 digit H.U.C.'s are typically around 400,000 acres in size. 12 digit H.U.C.'s are  the smallest (~25,000 acres) and make-up the boundaries for an 8 digit H.U.C. like pieces of a puzzle. The four 8 digit H.U.C. watersheds in Faulkner County are the Lake Conway-Point Remove Watershed, the Cadron Watershed, the Bayou Meto Watershed, and the Lower White-Bayou Des Arc Watershed . They are pictured in the map below.
