The primary flow providers to the bayou are the Mississippi River and precipitation. There are no major dams or tributaries related specifically to the bayou. Seasonal trends show a decrease in flow during the summer months and an increase during the winter and spring. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the bayou is that it was once the main course of the Mississippi River before being diverted by a flood in 1715. Today, it serves as a crucial source of drinking water for over 300,000 people in the region.
