The mean flow rate is 90 cu m per sec. The Nercha begins to freeze in October, and its lower course is frozen completely from January until April; the ice breaks up in late April or early May. The river is used for floating timber. The city of Nerchinsk is located on the Nercha. Gold is mined in the Nercha River basin.
