It serves as a critical source of water for irrigation in the surrounding agricultural areas. There are no dams on the canal, but it does have a diversion structure that allows water to be diverted to smaller canals for distribution. Flow in the canal is highest during the spring and summer months due to snowmelt and precipitation, while winter months see reduced flow. One interesting fact about the hydrology of the area is that the Pecos River was a major trading route for Native Americans and later used by settlers to transport goods.
