The river experiences seasonal variations in flow, with higher levels during monsoon season and lower levels during the dry season. There are no major dams on the Santa Cruz River near Nogales, but there are several smaller dams and diversions upstream. Interestingly, the Santa Cruz River used to flow year-round, but due to groundwater pumping and land use changes, it now often runs dry in the lower stretches. This has led to efforts to restore the river and its riparian habitat.
