The primary constituents of the flow are precipitation and groundwater. There are no major dams or tributaries impacting the flow of Walnut Creek. Seasonal trends show that flow is highest in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation, and lowest in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the stream gauge is located near the site of the Battle of Erie during the War of 1812, where American and British forces clashed over control of Lake Erie.
