The river flows to Lake Michigan and is fed by several tributaries, including Battle Creek and Augusta Creek. Seasonal trends show that the flow increases during the spring months and decreases during the summer months. The river is also affected by several dams, including the Morrow Dam and Ceresco Dam. Interestingly, in 2010, the river experienced a significant oil spill, which led to extensive cleanup efforts and monitoring of the water quality. The Kalamazoo River at New Richmond, MI streamgauge is an important tool for researchers and policymakers in understanding and managing the river's hydrology.
