This book addresses the crucial problem of water scarcity in rural communities and on farms, particularly in the arid regions of Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. The author, an agriculturalist, was specifically tasked by the Lethbridge Board of Trade to investigate this issue and gather information. The book was published in 1917 following a conference called to address this problem. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the historical context of water supply development in the area, and explores the region's geological and hydrological features that have led to the scarcity. The book also includes a detailed account of the conference proceedings, bringing together the expertise of scientists, engineers, farmers, and government officials to discuss potential solutions such as well drilling, water storage, and irrigation. The concluding section of the book summarizes the key findings of the conference, emphasizing the need for further research and collaboration to find sustainable water sources for the region's agricultural communities.
