The agricultural drought impact evaluation model is used in this paper to evaluate the economic impact of a drought mitigating strategy-development of small scale irrigation. The area selected for the study was the north -western region Saskatchewan. A total of 16000 irrigated acres, distributed as 400 plots of 40 acres each, were developed as forage plots. This resulted in higher yields and release of some land for other dry land crop production. Increase in net farm income was $51 per irrigated acre under no drought, and reduced slightly to $48 per irrigated acre under a one year drought but increased to $61 per irrigated acre under a two year drought. There was a gain of $1.7 to $2.5 million in terms of gross domestic product under no drought to a two year drought. Thus small scale irrigation development provides a stabilizing effects on existing livestock operations during years of drought.
