Big Irrigation Plan to Reclaim 90000 Acres North of Belle Fourche
Belle Fourche North Dakota reports on a $2.1 million federal irrigation project reclaiming 90,000 arid acres north of the Black Hills. The Owl Creek reservoir dam will be the largest earthen dam in the United States, with a 1.8 million cubic yard embankment and 100 foot water depth. First water from the Johnson lateral is expected next spring as government aims to convert land into water rights under a Water Users association.
