The flow is primarily contributed by the Lehigh River Basin, which includes several tributaries such as Mahoning Creek and Aquashicola Creek. The river is also impacted by the Francis E. Walter Dam, located upstream. Seasonal trends show that the flow is typically higher in the spring due to snowmelt and lower in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Lehigh River was once a major shipping route for coal and iron, and played a crucial role in the industrial revolution. Today, it is a popular spot for recreational activities such as kayaking and fishing.
