This cableway was installed in 1905 by the United States Geological Survey to measure the river's flow.
Today instruments sense and record the elevation of the water surface.
This information is relayed by satellite into computers of water management agencies, and tells them how much water, will arrive in Bend eight hours later.

This is an important link in the domestic and irrigation water systems of Central Oregon.
