The river is fed by many small tributaries and passes through several dams. The flow varies seasonally, with peak flow in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and low flow in the summer and fall. The hydrology of the Charles River is notable for its history of pollution, which has led to a concerted effort to improve water quality in recent years. Additionally, the Charles River has been the subject of many works of literature and poetry, including a famous poem by Robert Lowell.
