The river serves as a source of water for over 40 million people and multiple states. The stream gauge monitors the water levels during different seasons, and the river experiences higher flow during the spring and early summer due to snowmelt. Additionally, the Colorado River is fed by multiple tributaries, including the Little Colorado River, which contributes to the river's unique color. The river is also regulated by multiple dams, including the Hoover Dam and Glen Canyon Dam. Interestingly, the Colorado River has carved out the Grand Canyon over millions of years, and the river is a popular destination for rafting and water activities.
