Pagladiya River is perennial, very shallow, and is characteristically known for flash floods and high discharge rates.{{cite journal|title= Study on the channel migration pattern of Jia-Bhareli, Puthimari and Pagladiya tributaries of the Brahmaputra river using remote sensing Technology|citeseerx= 10.1.1.589.7108}}
Relict of Pagladiya
The Pagladiya basin has been developed by the actively migrating nature of the stream and resulted a basin of complex migration pattern. The relict of the earlier Pagladiya known as Mora Pagladiya (Dead Pagladiya) can still be seen in the form of abandoned channel passing through Khagrabari and Barama of Baksa District.
