The flow is primarily provided by precipitation and snowmelt, with some contribution from agricultural irrigation. There are no significant tributaries or dams on this section of the river. The flow is highest during the spring melt and summer rains, and lowest during the winter.

However, the river is no longer used for transportation and is primarily used for recreation and wildlife habitat.
