The river also receives treated wastewater from Mexicali, Mexico, and stormwater runoff. There are no major tributaries or dams along the New River. The flow rates vary seasonally, with peak flow occurring in the spring due to snowmelt in the mountains. The New River has been called one of the most polluted rivers in America, with high levels of pesticides, fecal coliform bacteria, and heavy metals. Despite this, it is known for its unique ecology, including the presence of rare plants and animals adapted to the harsh conditions of the desert river.
