The Hermiston Irrigation Project, the first government irrigation project in the region, was built from 1906 through 1908, converting sand and sage to farm. Cold Springs Dam on the Umatilla River brought water from north of Echo through a feed canal 26 miles to the Cold Springs Reservoir. The diversion dam formed a storage reservoir 90 feet high and 4,000 feet long to hold the Umatilla's spring flood waters for summer use.
