Lakes and Rivers
Saskatchewan holds over 81,000 sq. kilometers (31,000 sq. miles) of inland water, amounting to over 10,000 individual lakes and tributaries. However, residents often discuss their plans for going to "the lake" during summer holidays, which never needs any further clarification. A vital natural resource, water in Saskatchewan supports fishing and forestry, helps produce thermal and hydroelectricity, serves as a means of transportation, and has constant recreational use.

From Above
“The combination of landscape and climatic environment determines the whole range of themes in the literature of the prairies. This is the never-ending flat land where mixed farm and wheat fields are etched out of the barren plains and the snake-like fissures of the wandering rivers.”

Creeks and Rivers
“The native peoples who first inhabited this region gave the name Saskatchewan to the most salient geographical feature of the area- the river that flows rapidly. Agricultural settlers later used the same name to designate the only Canadian province that has no boundaries following any natural geographic features of the land.”

“The gusts were growing fiercer, snow was biting at his face like flying sand. He ducked his head and watched the drifts unroll beneath him, a white scroll of vellum, luminous in the dim light.”
