The canal serves as a major source of irrigation for agricultural lands in the area. There are no significant tributaries or dams directly affecting the flow at this gauge. Seasonal trends show a peak in flow during the summer months due to snowmelt in the upper reaches of the Gila River watershed. Interestingly, the canal was originally constructed by the Yuma Project in the early 1900s to provide water to the Fort Yuma Indian Reservation.
