The main contributors to its flow are rainfall, which is abundant in the region, and groundwater. The river is also fed by several tributaries, including the Rio Turabo and Rio Caguitas. There are no significant dams along the river, but it is periodically affected by flooding during heavy rain events. The river is subject to seasonal trends, with higher flows during the rainy season from May to October. Interestingly, the river is known for its cultural significance as a source of inspiration for many Puerto Rican poets, including Julia de Burgos. Overall, the Rio Grande de Loiza at Caguas is an important hydrological feature and cultural icon of Puerto Rico.
