Title
Damming the River Murray during drought, Waikerie - Horses and cart in the water
Description

Damming river at time of very low flow. Could be during 1914 not 1940's (G. Brooks)

During the drought of 1914 the pipes which fed the Waikerie Irrigation Area were left high and dry. This dam was laid in an attempt to raise the water level and allow irrigation to continue. The dam was breached and the drought did not break until rain fell on 28 May 1915.
