The river is also impacted by the operation of the Potter Hill Dam and the downstream Westerly Dam. Seasonal trends show that the river experiences spring and fall floods due to heavy precipitation and snowmelt. The hydrology of the Pawcatuck River is interesting because it supports anadromous fish species, such as river herring and American shad, that migrate from the ocean to freshwater to spawn. Additionally, the river is home to the endangered Atlantic sturgeon, which is a unique and important species in the area.
