The primary flow provider is snowmelt and precipitation, with occasional contributions from small tributaries. There are no major dams on the Purgatoire River, but there are several small dams and diversions for irrigation purposes. The river experiences seasonal trends, with higher flows in the spring and lower flows in the summer and fall. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the Purgatoire River is that it is considered a "lost river," as it disappears underground for several miles before reemerging downstream.
