The river is primarily fed by snowmelt and precipitation, with occasional contributions from groundwater. The river has no major tributaries or dams in the immediate vicinity. The flow rate of the river varies greatly throughout the year, with the highest flows occurring in the late spring and early summer due to snowmelt. The river is also subject to flash flooding during heavy rain events. The hydrology of the Little Missouri River is unique due to the rugged terrain of the Badlands, which creates steep gradients and fast-moving water.
