Before 1939 water from the Senguerr River entered the Chico via an outlet on the east side of Lake Colhue Huapi, but heavy use of water for irrigation has lowered the lake level and led to desiccation of the Chico river. The wide valley of the Chico is mostly dry today, except during periods of especially heavy snowmelt in the Andean headwaters of the Senguerr.

El río Chico es una corriente intermitente de agua que se encuentra ubicado en la provincia del Chubut, en la región patagónica central de la República Argentina, y era en otros tiempos el desagüe natural de la actual cuenca endorreica del río Senguerr y los lagos Musters y Colhué Huapi. Su cauce, la mayor parte del tiempo es seco, se extiende con rumbo nordeste hasta alcanzar el embalse del Dique Florentino Ameghino formando así la segunda cuenca hídrica de importancia en la provincia.[ru] Рио-Чико (приток Чубута)
