The river runs through several tributaries and is impacted by dams, including the McPhee Dam, which can affect seasonal flow patterns. In the summer, the river flow typically decreases due to lower snowmelt and increased irrigation demand. Interestingly, the Dolores River was once a major source of uranium mining in the area, but this activity has since ceased. Overall, the hydrology of the Dolores River provides important information for water management in the region.
