The diversion is regulated by the Lake Tapps Reservoir, which is fed by several tributaries and controlled by a dam. Seasonal trends in flow reflect the changing precipitation patterns in the region, with higher flows occurring in the winter and spring months. Interestingly, the diversion and reservoir have a storied past, having been originally constructed in the early 1900s as a hydroelectric project before being repurposed for irrigation and recreation. Despite some controversy surrounding the diversion's effects on fish populations and other ecological concerns, it remains a critical component of the region's hydrology.
