The river is one of the primary sources of water for irrigation in the region, and its flow is influenced by snowmelt and precipitation. Seasonal trends show that the river typically experiences peak flows in early summer due to snowmelt, while fall and winter flows are lower. The river has several dams along its course, including the Fontenelle Dam, which provides hydroelectric power and flood control. Interesting facts about the river include its significance to the early explorers of the American West, including John Wesley Powell, and the presence of several important tributaries, including the Yampa and the White rivers.
