The main flow provider is the Colorado River, with potential tributaries from the Bill Williams River and Gila River. There are no major dams in the immediate vicinity. Seasonal trends show higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer due to increased evaporation and water usage. Interestingly, the wasteway was originally built in the 1940s as a flood control measure to protect the Poston internment camp during World War II. Today, it serves as an important water management tool for the region.
