Watering Run

Watering Run is a tributary of Big Wapwallopen Creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.

[1] Watering Run joins Big Wapwallopen Creek 8.46 miles (13.62 km) upstream of its mouth.

[2] At its mouth, Watering Run has a 10 percent chance of reaching a peak annual discharge of 480 cubic feet per second.

[4] The Morris Silt Loam is the main soil that occurs along Watering Run.

This soil is poorly drained and occurs in glacial till derived from shale, sandstone, and siltstone.

Rexford Loam, which is formed from glacial outwash derived from sandstone and shale, also occurs to the south of the steam.

[2] Both the source and the mouth of the stream are in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Freeland.

[3] The floodwaters of the stream covered Alberdeen Road in 12 inches (30 cm) of water at the village of Albert.

This is the only time that a major storm has caused flooding in any developed portion of Wright Township.
