The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Yellow Medicine River and the Cottonwood River, and is affected by dams such as the Marsh Lake Dam. Seasonal trends in water flow show that the river experiences high flows in the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall, while low flows occur in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Minnesota River has a unique hydrology due to its prairie landscape and shallow depth, making it prone to flooding and sedimentation. Overall, the Morton stream gauge provides valuable information on the hydrology of the Minnesota River, which is important for managing water resources in the region.
