The river's primary contributors are snowmelt and rain, and it receives water from several tributaries, including Breitenbush River and Battle Creek. Detroit Dam is also located upstream of the gauge. Seasonal trends show that the river experiences higher flows in the winter and spring months due to increased precipitation and snowmelt. Interestingly, the North Santiam River was once home to significant populations of Chinook salmon, but their numbers have declined due to dam construction and other human activities. Overall, the North Santiam River is a vital water source and ecosystem for the surrounding area.
