Summary

Pekina Water Scheme. Pekina Creek rises on the eastern side of the Pekina Ranges in the Southern Flinders Ranges and flows about 16 kms into the Pekina Reservoir. The reservoir was built near Orroroo in the state's mid north in approximately 1914. However the reservoir filled with silt reducing the amount of water available for irrigration. This photograph shows a worker standing next to a large tunnel/pipe built as part of the water scheme.
