The river's water flow is primarily sourced from snowmelt in the Rocky Mountains, with a contribution from upstream reservoirs. The river is impacted by several tributaries, including Clear Creek and Cherry Creek, and several dams, including Chatfield and Barr Lake. In the summer, the river's flow is generally lower due to decreased snowmelt and increased water usage. Interesting hydrological facts include the river's history of flooding and its designation as a Gold Medal fishery, meaning it supports fish populations and recreational fishing.
