The river receives water from several smaller tributaries and drains an area of approximately 1,360 square miles. The stream gauge is operated by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and measures the river's flow rate. The flow rate of the Nottoway is highly dependent on precipitation, with the highest flows typically occurring in the spring and fall. There are no major dams on the river, but there are several smaller ones that can affect the river's flow rate. A unique feature of the Nottoway River is that it is one of the few rivers in Virginia that flows in a southerly direction.
