Bradwell Reservoir[1] is a man-made reservoir in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan in the Rural Municipality of Blucher No. 343.[2] The reservoir was built as part of the South Saskatchewan River Project. That project involved the damming of the South Saskatchewan River with the Gardiner and Qu'Appelle River Dams creating Lake Diefenbaker.[3] From Lake Diefenbaker, a series of aqueducts were built allowing for irrigation and the creation of several reservoirs, including Bradwell Reservoir.[4][5] The reservoir is owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency.[6] Bradwell Reservoir supplies water to the Nutrien Allan Potash Mine near Allan.[7]
