The major constituents of the flow are from upstream tributaries such as the Wisconsin River, the upper Mississippi River, and the Minnesota River. The dam at Pool 13 affects the flow, and the flow tends to be lowest during the winter months and highest during the spring snowmelt. The hydrology of this area has some quirky facts, including the formation of islands and the constant shift of the river channel due to sediment deposition and erosion. Additionally, Clinton, IA is known for its annual Bald Eagle watch, where hundreds of eagles can be spotted feeding on fish in the open water below the dam.
