The primary constituents of the stream are agricultural runoff, urban stormwater runoff, and treated wastewater. There are several tributaries that contribute to the flow of Salt Creek, including Flag Creek and Graue Mill Creek. During the summer months, the flow tends to be low, while during the winter and spring months, the flow increases due to snowmelt and rainfall. The streamgauge also monitors the water level at the Bemis Dam, which is an interesting fact about the hydrology of the area.
