The river is primarily fed by agricultural runoff and urban stormwater, and can experience significant fluctuations in flow during the spring thaw and summer storms. The river flows through several small tributaries and is impounded by a few small dams, including the Zeeland Dam. Seasonal trends include increased flow during the spring and summer, and lower flow during the winter months. Interesting hydrological features include the river's proximity to Lake Michigan, and the potential for flooding in low-lying areas during heavy rain events.
