The main flow providers are the Atchafalaya and Mississippi Rivers, while other smaller tributaries and drainage canals contribute to the flow. Seasonally, the water level and flow increase during the rainy season (May-October) and decrease during the dry season (November-April). There are several dams along the GIWW, including the Bayou Boeuf Lock and the Wax Lake Outlet Structure. Interesting facts about the hydrology include the GIWW being an important shipping channel for the energy and agriculture industries, and the presence of saltwater intrusion due to sea level rise and land subsidence.
