The river is fed by numerous tributaries, including the Tallahatchie River, and is not dammed. Seasonally, the river experiences high flows during the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall, and low flows during the summer and fall. The hydrology of the Big Sunflower River is important for its role in supporting aquatic wildlife and providing water for agriculture. Interestingly, the Big Sunflower River was the inspiration for the song "Big River" by Johnny Cash.
