Photograph Details

Type of Photograph

Digital Scan

Context

Farmers in Kaysville and Fruit Heights would dig reservoirs to capture water which couldn't be used during a watering turn. The entire orchard could not be irrigated during one turn so reservoirs allowed for the lower fields and orchards to receive a fair share.
