The river's constituents include snowmelt, rain, and groundwater. The river has several tributaries, including the Silver Creek and the Puerco River. The potential dams on the river include the proposed Little Colorado River Storage Project. The river flow is highly seasonal, with peak flows occurring during the monsoon season (July-September) and low flows during the drier months. The hydrology of the river is affected by the region's semi-arid climate, which results in high evaporation rates and occasional flash floods. Interestingly, the river's water is known for its blue-green color, which is caused by high levels of dissolved calcium carbonate.
