The Saskatchewan Drainage Extension Network (SK DEN) is a province-wide collaboration network that brings together people, research, technology, and practical experience to advance responsible agricultural water management across Saskatchewan’s diverse soils, climates, and farming systems.

Practical water management for Saskatchewan agriculture.

Through field-scale research, demonstration sites, extension resources, and collaborative discussion, SK DEN helps translate complex water management challenges into practical knowledge that supports resilient crop production, soil health, field efficiency, and informed decision-making.

From drainage and irrigation to water-use efficiency and field-scale innovation, SK DEN brings together producers, researchers, industry, associations, municipalities, regulators and government to better understand what works, why it matters, and how Saskatchewan agriculture can continue to improve.

This is a place to explore research, ask questions, share ideas, and connect with the people working to advance practical agricultural water management in Saskatchewan.
