The river is primarily fed by agricultural runoff and precipitation. There are several tributaries that contribute to the flow of the river, including Le Sueur River and Watonwan River. There are no major dams on the river. The flow of the river tends to be highest in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and lowest in the late summer and fall. Interestingly, the Blue Earth River was named for the blue-green clay that can be found in the riverbanks.
