Dellwood Reservoir
Dellwood Reservoir is a reservoir in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the Rural Municipality of Usborne No. 310. The reservoir was built along the course of Dellwood Brook as part of South Saskatchewan River Project. That project, originating at Gardiner Dam of Lake Diefenbaker, involved the building of aqueducts and a series of reservoirs to supply water for irrigation, consumption, and industry. The reservoir is about 22 kilometres (14 mi) north-east of the town of Watrous and access is from Highway 668.
