All of the surface water in New York State occurs in one of seventeen major river basins.All of the
land that drains into a large river or one of its tributaries is part of that river’s river basin. A watershed
includes all of the land drained by a smaller stream; river basins are composed of watersheds.Nine of the
17 river basins are wholly or partially underlain by the Marcellus Shale; five are underlain by the Marcellus
fairway, which is the area where gas companies believe gas extraction will be most profitable. Development will likely be concentrated in this fairway, but areas surrounding it will most likely see drilling as well. The five river basins that contain Marcellus fairway are the Genesee River Basin, the Chemung River Basin, the Seneca-Oneida-Oswego River Basin, the Susquehanna River Basin, and the Delaware River Basin. Though they are counted as separate river basins in New York,
the Chemung River Basin is part of the Susquehanna River Basin. See Figure 2
