Army Creek
Background  
The Army Creek watershed is located in east-central New Castle County. The 4-mile-long mainstem flows east-northeast toward its outfall to the Delaware River just below the town of New Castle. The stream is free flowing, however, a tidegate is located at the mouth, which only allows discharge to the Delaware River during low tides, such that there is no tidal influence in the creek.

The land uses in the watershed are dominated by urban areas. The city of New Castle, the only incorporated town, is situated in the northern portion of the watershed.
