Walhachin flume
Photographer: Unknown via British Columbia Archives; d-03191_141 (Public domain)
Taken: 1910
Caption: Walhachin flume
Additional Description: The hastily built flume carried water from Deadman's Creek 12 miles to irrigate Walachin's orchards. It was intended to be a temporary measure until a suitable water source could be found, so the wooden flume deteriorated quickly. It wasn't until decades later that it was discovered the site's soil was unsuitable for orchard crops.
