The Powell River is fed by numerous smaller tributaries, including the Clear Fork River and the Little River. The streamgauge also measures water levels near the Norris Dam and the Tazewell Dam, which are major upstream impoundment structures. Seasonal trends show that the Powell River typically experiences high flow in the winter and spring due to increased rainfall and snowmelt, while flow decreases in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the Powell River is home to several endangered species, including the Powell River crayfish and the Powell River mussel.
