Poplar River is a tributary of the Missouri River, approximately 167 miles (269 km) long in Saskatchewan in Canada and Montana in the United States. The river is composed of three main forks – West, Middle, and East Poplar Rivers – that have their source in the Wood Mountain Hills of the Missouri Coteau.

The Grant Devine Dam, formerly Alameda Dam, is an embankment dam located in the Canadian province near Alameda and Oxbow. It was constructed in 1994 to control flows on Moose Mountain Creek and Souris River. It provides flood protection and irrigation for this area of Saskatchewan, along with protection for Minot, North Dakota. The Grant Devine Reservoir provides opportunities for recreational use such as boating and fishing. At the full supply level of 562 metres (1,844 ft), the reservoir holds 105,000,000 m3 (3.7×109 cu ft) of water. The project is owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (formerly Saskatchewan Watershed Authority).

McDonald Lake, also known as Rafferty Reservoir, is a reservoir in the south-eastern part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It was created when the Rafferty Dam was built on the Souris River in 1994. Before the dam was built that flooded the Souris Valley, McDonald Lake was a small lake and marsh on the valley floor adjacent to the Souris River.

It is also within Palliser's Triangle and the Great Plains ecoregion.
Brightwater Creek is a river in south central part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is a tributary of the South Saskatchewan River in a region called the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, which extends throughout three Canadian provinces and five U.S. states. It is also within Palliser's Triangle and the Great Plains ecoregion. Along the river's course there is a dam and reservoir and a regional park. There are no communities along its course.
Moose Jaw River is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is located in the southern part of the province in a region called the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, which extends throughout three Canadian provinces and five U.S. states. It is also within Palliser's Triangle and the Great Plains ecoregion.
Avonlea Creek is a river in the southern part of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is in a region called the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, which extends throughout three Canadian provinces and five U.S. states. It is also within Palliser's Triangle and the Great Plains ecoregion. Avonlea Creek is a main tributary of the Moose Jaw River, which is part of the Upper Qu'Appelle Watershed and the Hudson Bay drainage basin.
Thunder Creek is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The watershed of Thunder Creek is within the semi-arid Palliser's Triangle in south-central Saskatchewan. It begins at small, man-made reservoir near Lake Diefenbaker and flows in a south-easterly direction towards the city of Moose Jaw and the Moose Jaw River. The Moose Jaw River is a major tributary of the Qu'Appelle River For most of its course, Thunder Creek follows a valley called the Thunder Creek meltwater channel that was formed over 10,000 years ago near the end of the last ice age.
Wood River is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It has its source in the Wood Mountain Hills of south-western Saskatchewan and flows in a north-easterly direction to its mouth at Old Wives Lake. Old Wives Lake is a salt water lake with no outflow. As a result, the drainage basin of Wood River is an endorheic one. Along the course of the river, there are several parks, historical sites, and small towns.
Eagle Creek is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The watershed of Eagle Creek is within the semi-arid Palliser's Triangle and is the major drainage system in mid-western Saskatchewan between the South and North Saskatchewan Rivers. Eagle Creek begins at the eastern end of Eaglehill Lake and travels through a glacier-cut valley in the moist, mixed grasslands ecozone of Canada en route to the North Saskatchewan River. The North Saskatchewan River merges with the South Saskatchewan River farther downstream to become the Saskatchewan River.
Maple Creek is a river in the south-west region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river is in the semi-arid region known as Palliser's Triangle. It begins in the Cypress Hills and flows generally in a northward direction and empties into the endorheic Bigstick Lake. The town of Maple Creek is the only notable community along the course of the river. Due to the generally dry and drought-prone conditions of the area, reservoirs were built along the river's course and in its watershed to ensure a stable water supply for irrigation. Two Important Bird Areas (IBA) of Canada cover much of the lower watershed of the river.
Reid Lake, also known as Duncairn Reservoir, is a man-made reservoir in the Canadian Province of Saskatchewan. Reid Lake was formed with the construction of the Duncairn Dam in a glacial meltwater channel along the course of Swift Current Creek in 1942. The reservoir was originally built to supply water for the city of Swift Current, for irrigation projects, and to regulate Swift Current Creek levels downstream. The entire lake is part of the Duncairn Reservoir Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

The nearest community is Plenty and there are no public facilities at the lake. The nearest highway is Highway 31. The town of Biggar is about 60 kilometres (37 mi) to the north-east.
Melfort Creek, originally known as Stoney Creek, is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is in the aspen parkland ecozone and flows through the "most productive farmland areas in Canada, the Carrot River Valley, a territory that has never known drought or severe crop failure". The river begins at Eagle Lake and flows north where it meets the Carrot River in the Rural Municipality of Willow Creek No. 458. The Carrot River is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River within the Nelson River drainage basin. Along Melfort Creek's course are two reservoirs and the city of Melfort.
Tramping Lake is a lake in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is along the course of Eagle Creek in the West Central part of Saskatchewan. It runs in a north to south direction along Eagle Creek Valley. Upstream is Eaglehill Lake and downstream is the man-made Opuntia Lake. At the northern end of the lake on a tributary of Eagle Creek is Scott Dam, which impounds Scott Reservoir. Both Opuntia Lake and Scott Reservoir are owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency. The lake acts as the eastern boundary for the RMs of Tramping Lake No. 380 and Mariposa No. 350 and the western boundary for the RMs of Reford No. 379, Grandview No. 349.
