The river's flow is affected by its constituents, including urban runoff, agricultural activities, and stormwater runoff. The Blue River is dammed in several locations, including Longview Lake and Lake Jacomo, which can affect flow and water quality. Seasonal trends show that the river's flow is highest in the spring due to snowmelt, and lowest in the summer and fall due to drought. One quirky fact is that the river's name is derived from the blue-gray color of its water, caused by clay particles in the soil.
