Watershed Resource Inventory Area 12 (WRIA12) is designated by the Washington Department of Ecology as a watershed, separate from the Puyallup or Nisqually Rivers. It is a sole source aquifer, all the fresh water come from precipitation. Since we are currently under drought conditions, this affects the availability of water.
