The flow is mainly provided by snowmelt and precipitation from the Cascade Mountains. The river is fed by several notable tributaries, including Whychus Creek and the Deschutes River. Opal Springs Dam regulates the flow of the river and provides hydroelectric power to the surrounding area. Seasonal trends show that the river's flow is highest during the spring and summer months, with lower levels in the fall and winter. Additionally, the river has unique hydrology due to the presence of Opal Springs, which is a natural geothermal feature that adds warm water to the river throughout the year.
