The river is fed by local rainfall and the Santa Cruz Basin, with potential tributaries including the Rillito River and the Canada del Oro Wash. The flow of the river is highly seasonal, with peak flows occurring during the monsoon season from July to September. The river has been heavily impacted by human activity, including dams and development, leading to reduced flow and water quality. Despite these challenges, efforts are being made to restore the river and its ecosystem, making the Santa Cruz River an interesting case study in the management and conservation of water resources.
