Croton River watershed
Drainage basin in New York, US
About
The Croton River watershed is the drainage basin of the Croton River and its seven tributary rivers, a hydrological feature in far southeastern New York State. Spanning large swaths of Putnam and Westchester counties, it is over 350 square miles (910 km2) in area and holds some 115 billion US gallons (440,000,000 m3) of fresh water.
Largely physically overlapping the New York City water supply system's engineered Croton Watershed, the Croton River watershed represents the drainage and flow of some seven rivers, one dozen reservoirs, three controlled lakes, Lake Mahopac, and countless smaller lakes and ponds.
