The flow is primarily provided by snowmelt in the spring and monsoon rains in the summer. There are no major dams on the stream, but it does have a few small irrigation diversions. Seasonally, the flow can vary greatly with the highest flows in the spring and summer and a low flow or dry channel in the fall and winter. The hydrology of the stream is interesting because it provides habitat for the endangered Salt Creek tiger beetle, which is only found in this area. Additionally, the Salt Creek watershed contains the largest gypsum deposit in the world, which can impact water quality in the stream.
