This is the history of one of the largest construction projects in Canadian history, the South Saskatchewan River Project. The Project involved the construction of a dam on the river for irrigation in an area of southern Saskatchewan affected by periodic droughts. Topics covered include the background to the project, first steps toward implementation as stimulated by the drought of 1930, the development of political support, the agreement to build the dam, the acquisition of land for the project, construction of the project, and impacts of the project on the agricultural community.
