The river is fed by several tributaries including the Yellowstone River, Platte River, and Kansas River. The river also has several dams, including the Fort Peck Dam and the Oahe Dam, which provide hydroelectric power and flood control. Seasonal trends show that the river typically experiences high flow in the spring due to snowmelt, and low flow in the summer and fall. One interesting fact about the Missouri River is that it was a major transportation route for fur traders and settlers during the 19th century. Today, the river is used for shipping and recreation.
