The primary flow provider is the Gulf, and the constituents are saltwater and freshwater. There are no specific related tributaries or dams, but seasonal trends show increased flow during the wet season and lower flow during the dry season. The barrier is opened and closed according to salinity levels to maintain a balance of freshwater and saltwater in the river. An interesting fact is that the barrier was installed in 1995 to prevent saltwater intrusion and protect the diverse ecosystem of the Neches River.
