The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Pine River, Huron River, and the Middle River Rouge. There are several dams along the River Rouge, including the Henry Ford Dam and the Oakwood Boulevard Dam. The flow of the river is highly dependent on precipitation, with seasonal trends showing higher flow in the spring and lower flow in the winter. Interestingly, the River Rouge is one of the most polluted rivers in the United States due to industrial and urban runoff. Despite this, efforts are being made to improve the water quality and restore the river's ecosystem.
