It has a rich history, as it was inhabited by indigenous peoples and later played a significant role in Chile's colonization. The river's hydrology is influenced by seasonal rainfall and snowmelt in the Andes mountains. There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Rapel Dam, which produces hydroelectricity and provides irrigation water for agricultural use. The river also supports recreational activities such as fishing and boating. Agriculturally, the river supports crops such as citrus and avocado, as well as livestock grazing. However, the river has faced challenges such as drought and pollution due to human activity, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts.
