Beaver built dam project saves water in Saskatchewan farm area
On the Monteith farm near Prince Albert Saskatchewan a beaver driven dam system redirected and stored river water. Two main dams and several support dams created a reliable year round supply for 80 head of cattle and nearby landowners. Poplar logs and mud built barriers raised water levels and protected grazing lands from drought along the Shell River.

Kansas Salt Mines Offered for Underground Storage
Kansas mining centers in Hutchinson and New Fresal are eyed as potential underground storage sites for nuclear waste and artifacts. The plan leverages salt beds 850 to 1,000 feet below the surface, with 128 acres leased to operators and a center proposed near central Kansas. Authorities note existing facilities could house radios, tapes, microfilm, and other materials, while safety and defense uses spur continued salt production in southwest counties.
