It encompasses parts of 32 states and two Canadian provinces, covering approximately 1.2 million square miles. This watershed plays a crucial role in the regional ecosystem, supporting diverse habitats and wildlife, while also influencing agricultural practices and water management in the surrounding areas. The watershed's health is vital for maintaining water quality and mitigating flooding risks in the region.
