Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The Muskingum River Basin is located in Eastern and Southeastern Ohio. The Muskingum River, a tributary of the Ohio River, is formed by the confluence of the Walhonding and Tuscarawas Rivers at Coshocton. The Muskingum flows for approximately 112 miles to its confluence with the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio. The headwaters of the Tuscarawas and Walhonding Rivers rise near Akron and Shelby, Ohio, respectively. The drainage area of the Basin is 8,051 square miles, being approximately 20 percent of the state’s total area. The Basin includes all of five and portions of 22 counties. This report presents the findings of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as its part of a comprehensive study of the water and related land resources of the Muskingum River Basin. The Main objectives of the USDA study are to: 1. Inventory the natural resources of the Basin. 2. Analyze the agricultural economy of the Basin as to historic, existing, and projected conditions. 3. Determine the cause, distribution, and magnitude of the Basin’s water and related land resource problems. 4. Determine the present and future development needs based on resource problems and projected economic activity. 5. Describe the pertinent existing water and related land resource projects and programs. 6. Describe the physical potential or capability of the Basin to meet identifiable water and related land resource development needs. 7. Describe the opportunities for development through USDA projects and programs and estimate their impacts.
