It is fed by several tributaries, including the Little Blue Creek and Big Blue River, and provides water for irrigation and municipal use. There are no major dams on this river, allowing for free-flowing water. The seasonal trends show high flow in the spring and low flow in the summer, which is typical for most streams in the region. Interestingly, the Little Blue River was once a popular destination for paddlefish fishing, but due to overfishing, the population has greatly declined. Overall, the Little Blue River is an important part of the hydrology of the region and requires careful management to ensure sustainable use.
