The river's flow is affected by several factors, including rainfall and dam releases from upstream reservoirs. The Schuylkill River has several tributaries, including the Perkiomen Creek and Wissahickon Creek. During the summer, the river's flow tends to be lower due to decreased rainfall, while in the winter, snowmelt can cause a significant increase in flow. Interestingly, the Schuylkill River was once considered one of the most polluted rivers in the United States, but has seen significant improvements in water quality in recent years.
