The river is primarily fed by precipitation and snowmelt, and the stream gauge provides data on the water level and discharge. Some of the major tributaries that contribute to the river's flow include the Frankstown Branch, the Raystown Branch, and the Standing Stone Creek. The hydrology of the river is impacted by several dams, including the Raystown Dam and the Juniata Division Dam. Seasonal trends show that the river is typically highest in the spring due to snowmelt and the potential for heavy rain. Interestingly, the Juniata River was named by the Native American tribes who once lived near it, who called it "Joanietough," meaning "standing stone."
