The Nisqually River is fed by several smaller tributaries and is impacted by the Alder and LaGrande Dams. Seasonal trends show a higher flow during the winter months due to increased rainfall, with lower flow during the summer months. The hydrology of the river is important to the local ecosystem, as it supports salmon and other aquatic species. Interestingly, the Nisqually River is one of the few rivers in Washington state that supports all five species of salmon.
