The river is closely monitored due to its importance for water supply in the western United States. The river's flow can be impacted by tributaries such as the Little Colorado River and dams such as Glen Canyon Dam. Seasonal trends show higher flows during the spring and early summer due to snowmelt, while flows decrease in late summer and fall. Interestingly, the river was once home to a thriving fishing industry, but introduced non-native fish species have since impacted the ecosystem.
