The river has several tributaries, including the Chama River, which is dammed to create the Abiquiu Reservoir. The flow of the Rio Grande is highly seasonal, with peak flows occurring in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt. During the summer months, the river can become very low, which can impact agriculture and other water-dependent industries in the region. Interestingly, the Rio Grande is home to several endangered species, including the Rio Grande silvery minnow and the southwestern willow flycatcher.
