The river receives its water from a number of tributaries, including the Platte, Niobrara, and James rivers. Upstream of the gauge lies the Gavins Point Dam, which helps regulate flow and provides hydroelectric power. Flow rates on the Missouri River can vary greatly throughout the year, with peak flows typically occurring in the spring due to snowmelt runoff. Interestingly, the Missouri River has been known to change course over time, leading to the formation of unique features such as the Missouri River Loess Hills.
