The river is heavily regulated by several dams, including the Lake Kemp Dam upstream and the Lake Wichita Dam downstream of the gauge. Seasonal trends show that the river experiences low flow during summer and fall months and high flow during spring months due to rainfall patterns. Historically, there have been several major floods in the Wichita River basin, the most recent being in 2007. Interesting hydrology facts about the region include the presence of a karst topography and underground caves that can influence surface water flow.
