Qu'Appelle River Dam

Qu'Appelle River Dam

The Qu'appelle River Dam is the smaller of two dams which created Lake Diefenbaker in Saskatchewan, Canada. The dam was built in the 1960s and regulates the flow of the Qu'Appelle River into Buffalo Pound Lake, which supplies water to Regina, Moose Jaw and the Kalium Chemicals Potash Mine at Belle Plaine.
