The primary flow provider of Salt Creek is stormwater runoff, and the key constituents are nitrate and phosphorous, which can cause water quality issues downstream. The stream is impacted by several dams, including the Salt Creek Dam at Busse Woods and the Maple Avenue Dam in Downers Grove. Seasonal trends include higher flows in the spring and lower flows in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Salt Creek was once known as "Dirty Creek" due to pollution from industrial and agricultural activities, but significant efforts have been made to improve its water quality in recent years.
