The river's main source is the snowmelt and rainfall from the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado, and it passes through New Mexico before emptying into the San Juan River. The Animas River is affected by seasonal trends, with higher flows occurring in the spring due to snowmelt, and lower flows in the summer and fall. There are several dams and reservoirs on the river, including the Navajo Dam which creates the Navajo Reservoir. In 2015, the Animas River gained national attention when a spill from a nearby abandoned mine released toxic wastewater into the river, causing environmental damage and prompting cleanup efforts.
