Whitemud Watershed Board Reviews Conservation Proposals
The Whitemud Watershed Board met at Westbourne hall in Gladstone to review soil conservation and water storage proposals. Crawford Jenkins presented policies on soil conservation, gully stabilization, grass waterway and dugout water, with the soil committee to study long term effects and legal implications. Water storage dams may be built, sites for upland water conservation investigated, and a long range flood control plan ordered. The board also redrew Sub-Watershed boundaries to include Neepawa Gladstone and Dead Lake Drainage as District No 39 with Doug Foreman as representative.
