The river is primarily fed by groundwater and precipitation. There are several small tributaries that contribute to the river's flow, but no major dams. The river experiences seasonal fluctuations with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and precipitation. During the summer months, the flow decreases due to lower precipitation and increased evaporation. Interestingly, the river has been the focus of restoration efforts to improve water quality and fish habitats.
