The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Jemez River, Santa Fe River, and Pecos River. The flow is highest in the spring due to snowmelt and decreases in the summer and fall with lower rainfall. Interestingly, the river is also affected by irrigation, which can divert water from the main channel. The hydrology of the Rio Grande below Cochiti Dam is essential for agriculture, recreation, and wildlife preservation in the region.
