The river is regulated by the Quabbin Reservoir Dam, which can impact the water levels and flow downstream. The flow of the river is influenced by seasonal trends, with higher flows in the spring due to snowmelt and lower flows in the summer due to decreased precipitation. Interestingly, the Swift River was diverted in the 1930s to create the Quabbin Reservoir, which is now the primary source of drinking water for the Boston area.
