Its flow is influenced by several constituents, including precipitation, snowmelt, and groundwater inputs. The river is known to have two tributaries, the Blackwater River and the Dan River, which converge with the Banister River. The Banister River experiences seasonal trends and typically has low flows during the summer months and high flows during the winter and spring months. The hydrology of the Banister River is also affected by the John H. Kerr Dam, which is located upstream from the streamgauge. One interesting fact about the Banister River is that it was named after John Banister, an early American naturalist and explorer who first explored the region.
