The river is regulated by several dams, including the Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams, which also generate hydroelectric power. Seasonal trends show peak flows during spring runoff and lower flows during the winter months. The hydrology of the river is affected by climate change, with decreasing water availability due to drought conditions. An interesting fact is that the Colorado River is the primary source of water for over 40 million people in the western United States.
