Last three pages. Sorry for taking up so much real estate on here but if others can copy and paste indiscriminately .......

101.....but what you described is natural. Not enhanced or added to.

Sadly some don't understand.
Many times during a natural disaster options are very limited. The best option is often RUN!

With drainage, nobody's loss should be because of someone else's intentional gain. It's bad enough real estate(land) is lost but when yards and homes are lost or at risk because of other's drainage is where.....

[farmaholic]

C&Ds talk about the adequate outlet..... but unless you live beside the ocean or maybe a Great Lake, someone is getting the water or it has to run through their property. Ask yourself if the philosophy of the Sask Watershed Authoritie's C&D projects match your idea of drainage. I can honestly say it doesn't match mine. Don't we all just want to get rid of it NOW! I have land that creating C&D works on would be as onerous as the potholes that are there now.... either I work around a pothole or a drainage ditch.... pick my poison.



This is just north of the community I live by. .... we have it alot better than this but sometimes there just isn't anywhere to put the water..... pot hole country. Our land is higher and drier and better drained but not as good quality as this stuff. We have fewer obstacles, is easier to farm, but not as productive(slum of the Ghetto).

Rainfall in Sask the last 15 years has more than doubled.

A lengthy discussion but all based on a lie. Come up with some real evidence backing this bold claim SF3.

If you think you are getting too much rain do something about. How about you seed your lowest land that floods worst to grass this would use up a lot of excess water and hence how much flows off your land onto your neighbours?

Grassy do I have to bring up the ag can maps again?


Consistent 150 to 200% of longterm averages.


Sloughs never had water now do


You can't put grass into 3ft of water.


Notice how many highways have to get built up? Rm of wolverine half the grids are closed because the sloughs got 10 feet deeper and they don't drain.

Grassy do I have to bring up the ag can maps again?

No, just data from a credible source proving that all of Saskatchewan has had double normal precipitation over the last 15 years. On second thoughts - don't waste your time, I know you have better things to do and we all know it was a ridiculous claim.
