The river is fed by snowmelt from the mountains and several tributaries, including the Pecos River and the Conchos River. The Elephant Butte Dam, located upstream, regulates the flow of the river and mitigates flooding. The flow of the Rio Grande varies seasonally, with peak flows occurring in the spring due to snowmelt and monsoon rains. Interestingly, the Rio Grande is one of the few rivers in the world that runs from a cold climate to a hot desert environment. The San Marcial streamgauge provides critical information for water resource management and flood control in the region.
