The canal serves as a vital water source for agriculture in the area but can also have negative impacts on the environment. There are no significant tributaries or dams directly related to the streamgauge. Seasonally, water flow tends to be highest during the wet season (June-October) and lowest during the dry season (November-May). Interestingly, the Miami Canal was initially constructed in the early 20th century as part of a larger effort to drain the Everglades for agricultural development.
