It is primarily fed by rainfall and runoff from surrounding watersheds. The river has several tributaries, and the Tom Steed Reservoir is a significant dam on the Washita River. Seasonal trends show that the river has higher flows during the spring and early summer months, due to increased rainfall and snowmelt. Interestingly, the Washita River was the site of a significant battle during the American Indian Wars, where General Custer and the 7th Cavalry fought against the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. The hydrology of the Washita River is a vital resource for the local community and plays an essential role in supporting ecosystems, agriculture, and recreation.
