The primary flow providers/constituents are rainfall and runoff from the surrounding agricultural land, which can cause significant fluctuations in water levels. There are no notable tributaries or dams directly affecting the canal's hydrology. Seasonal trends show higher flows during the wet season (May-October) and lower flows during the dry season (November-April). Interestingly, the canal was constructed in the early 1900s to combat the area's frequent flooding, and its unique design features a "turning basin," allowing boats to navigate the canal's twists and turns.
