The flow of the river is influenced by snowmelt, rainfall, and irrigation. Some of the tributaries that contribute to the Rio Grande include the Conejos, Los Pinos, and San Antonio rivers. The Rio Grande also passes through several dams, including the Elephant Butte Dam in New Mexico. Seasonally, the river experiences high flow in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flow in the fall and winter. One interesting fact about the Rio Grande is that it serves as a major migratory route for sandhill cranes, which can be seen in large flocks along the river during their annual migration.
