 The Muskingum Watershed, located in the Muskingum River Basin, is part of Ohio’s largest drainage system. Spanning five counties and portions of 22 others, this watershed covers more than 8,000 square miles and includes the area that drains into the Muskingum River and its tributaries. It is a system of 16 reservoirs providing flood control for the basin. It was created in 1933 under Chapter 6101 of the Ohio Revised Code, and is the largest conservancy district in Ohio, serving more than 2 million residents. The MWCD is dedicated to conservation and recreation conducted in harmony with flood control in the region, striving to enhance the quality of life in the Muskingum Lakes Region and beyond. |
