The Brazos River emerges at the convergence of Double Mountain Fork and Salt Fork near the eastern border of Stonewall County. It travels 840 miles through Texas to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico (official State of Texas website, n.d.). It is the longest river in Texas and has the greatest flow. Along its course there are several river basins, as shown in the map above. I will take care of the Bosque River watershed. The Bosque River watershed begins in Erath County and includes sections of Bosque, Hamilton, and Coryell counties. The watershed discharges its water into the Brazos River, downstream from Lake Waco in McLennan County, and drains approx. 1,653 square miles. The watershed includes portions of the Blackland Prairie and Oak Woods eco-regions (The Official Site of the State of Texas, n.d.). The soils in this area range from fine-textured clays to coarse-textured sands. Distinctive land uses include animal feeding operations, agriculture, rangelands, rangelands, and urban areas. Lake Waco serves as flood control in the area, while also providing drinking water to surrounding communities. The Brazos River Authority is the organization most involved in watershed projects in the Bosque River drainage basin. He worked to coordinate efforts to improve the watershed. His efforts were made possible by the Clean Water Act. His main goal was to identify all projects related to pollution prevention, monitor their progress, track rules and regulations, identify trends in the quality of water, assist in the efficient use of resources and improve communication between stakeholders. The Authority also provides a point of contact between the various parties interested in......middle of document...soon. The experience was worth every penny and I will not hesitate to take any opportunity to go back. I know that the watershed can prove to be a great tourist attraction, especially because it encourages activities such as sport fishing, rafting, canoeing and kayaking. I will definitely go back to that place with some of my friends and this time I will try all the water sports available, especially the ones I didn't try last time.
