The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Chama River and the Pecos River. The Cochiti Dam, located upstream of the Otowi Bridge, regulates the flow of the river. The seasonal trends for the Rio Grande show that the river is typically highest in the springtime when snowmelt occurs in the mountains. In the summer and fall, the river's flow decreases due to less precipitation and increased water usage. A quirky fact about the hydrology of the Rio Grande is that it is the fourth-longest river in the United States and has been the subject of many poems and songs due to its cultural and historical significance.
