The site represents an element essential to the development and
sustainability of settlement in Jitarning.
The government constructed dams and sunk wells at regular intervals throughout the wheat-belt to encourage and sustain settlement in the region.
The Jitarning dam provided a water supply for Jitarning, it was also a site for picnics and community
swimming, although it was not encouraged. The dam was a Mecca for native birds and animals, many
of which are now extinct.
The town is now reticulated with scheme water.
