El lugar de su desembocadura fue desplazado ligeramente al norte en 2001-2002, como parte de un plan para prevenir inundaciones. En este río se creó en 1956 una central hidroeléctrica sobre las cascadas de Gogo, a unos 45 km de , conectada a la red eléctrica nacional con una capacidad de 2 MW. En 2014, el gobierno dio inicio a un plan para ampliar la infraestructura, cuya finalidad será incrementar la capacidad a 12 MW, prevenir inundaciones e irrigar unas veinticinco mil hectáreas en el condado de Migori.

As it runs across the part of it becomes the , known for its deadly effects when it floods. Mogonga and Gucha are almost equal in size and they meet just 1 mile before flowing through the Ogembo Town center. The Gucha-Migori river changed its course near its mouth in 2001-2002, moving north to its present location. About 45 km from Migori, the Gogo Falls dam was completed in 1956 with a hydropower capacity of 2MW, connected to the Kenyan national grid. The dam is operated by Kenya Electricity Generating Company (Kengen). In 2014, Kenyan government announced an upgrade to the dam, to increase capacity to 12MW, regulate flow to prevent flooding, and allow irrigation of approximately 25,000ha.As of February 2016, the Orango irrigation intake and canals have been built downstream of the dam for the use of Okenge and Owiro farmers in Migori County, but construction of distributary channels have been delayed. The Gogo Falls archaeological site is located near the dam. (en)
