The river's flow is primarily provided by precipitation and snowmelt, and its constituents include sediment, nutrients, and organic matter. There are several potential tributaries that could impact the river's flow, including the Little Nemaha River and the South Fork Big Nemaha River. Seasonal trends show that the river experiences high flows in the spring due to snowmelt, and low flows in the summer and fall. One quirky fact about the hydrology of the Big Nemaha River is that it is known for its excellent fishing opportunities, particularly for catfish and bass.
