The marsh, which had been dry since 1983, was restored with effluent from the Cargill meat processing plant, municipal wastewater from High River and with clean water from the Highwood River. Wetlands in the dry northern prairie region frequently lose their water during drought and have few potential sources of fresh water. Ducks Unlimited and numerous stakeholders in the region cooperated to bring water back to the wetland in exchange for using the marsh for tertiary treatment of municipal and agricultrual wastewater.
