Since clearing for agriculture, and the subsequent dam construction took place, the Murray River has always undergone some form of flow regulation.

In effect, the lower Ord has been transformed through flow regulation at the dams from a 'dry tropics' to a 'wet tropics' river.

It also performs perennial flow regulation.

The Tinker Generating Station benefits from flow regulation upstream in Maine on Millinocket Lake and on the Aroostook River in Squa Pan.

The reservoir's original purpose was water storage and flow regulation for the Florence-Casa Grande and Casa Grande Canals.

It also performs seasonal flow regulation.

With the benefit of flow regulation, a small hydroelectric plant was completed in 1940 at the base of Elephant Butte Dam.

The dam was built in the 1930s as a water supply facility for the city of Pasadena, but is now mostly utilized for flood control and flow regulation for groundwater recharge.

Moreover, unlike the former model, a milter-capable MTA can connect to multiple filters in parallel that serve specific purposes such as anti-virus, anti-spam, message authentication, flow regulation, etc.

However, conditions are being damaged by industrial pollution, sewage, agricultural wastes, flow regulation, exotic species, and overgrazing.
