The main providers of flow to the canal are the Colorado River and its associated tributaries, including the Gila River. Additionally, the Yuma Desalting Plant diverts brackish water from the Colorado River into the canal for treatment. Seasonal trends in flow are influenced by irrigation demands, with high flows during the summer months and lower flows in the winter. Interestingly, the canal is also used to transport fish during migration periods, as the canal connects to the Alamo River, a tributary of the Salton Sea.
