The most significant tributaries are the Llano River and the Pedernales River, and the Highland Lakes dams have a significant impact on the flow of the river. Seasonal trends show that the flow is highest during the spring and summer months due to increased rainfall and snowmelt. Interestingly, the river is known for its "bat bridge" which houses the largest urban bat colony in North America. The hydrology of the Colorado River at Austin provides important information for managing water resources in the region.
