The upper course of the river is located on the Pandivere Highlands, the middle course on the Alutaguse lowlands and the lower course is located in the north of Vooremaa. In the summers of 1988 and 1994, The Onga Rivers water was slightly alkaline: in 1988, the pH value was 7,8 in the middle course of the river and 8,0 in the lower course of the river, and in 1994, the pH value was 7,7. There is no data about the mineral content of the water. The total content of organic matter in the water was low in Juny 1988 in the middle course of the river and medium in the lower course. In July 1994, the same figure was very low in the lower course of the river. There is no literature data regarding which fish species can be found in the Onga River.
