WATERSHED MAPS AND INFORMATION

East of Hudson Watershed Map



SIGNIFICANCE OF RONDOUT RESERVOIR:

1- Water is diverted from the Cannonsville, Pepacton and Neversink Reservoirs to Rondout Reservoir.
2- The water in Rondout is dedicated for NYC use only.
3- Rondout’s capacity is not considered in drought curves; accordingly negatively impacts releases for the fishery.
4- Capacity of Rondout is 49.6 billion gallons; reservoir is consistently kept at or near capacity.
5- At current NYC consumption (which has been declining over the past four years) Rondout alone maintains enough water to fully service NYC for seven months.

CAPACITIES:
Cannonsville 95.7 Billion Gallons
Pepacton 140.2 Billion Gallons
Neversink 34.9 Billion Gallons
Rondout (Not Counted) 49.6 Billion Gallons
