The Muskingum River Watershed, which covers more than 8,000 square miles, is the largest Washington RI

±
wholly contained watershed in the state of Ohio, covering about 20 percent of the state. The
IO
Muskingum River - which is formed by the confluence of the Tuscarawas and Walhonding OH
rivers at Coshocton, OH - empties into the Ohio River at Marietta. The system of reservoirs
and dams in the watershed offers flood reduction and water conservation benefits to the
region's property owners and residents. The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District
(MWCD), a political subdivision of the State of Ohio, was responsible for the development of
the reservoirs and dams. Today the MWCD is dedicated to flood reduction, water conservation
and recreation in the Muskingum River Watershed. Miles
