Reagan was born in 1907,
the 4th child of Constance and Kevin Buchanan.
He was very intelligent, excelling at mathematics and the sciences.
Reagan studied engineering at the University of Adelaide.
After graduation,
he became involved in civil engineering projects on the Murray River.
The Murray River Agreement was signed in 1915.
This proposed the construction of 4 storage reservoirs in the river's headwaters,
and at Lake Victoria, Lake Hume, Lake Mulwak and Lake Dartmouth.
There was also a series of locks built on the river.

For reflection ...
Large civil engineering projects often walk a thin line
between catering to the perceived needs of the people and conservation.
How important is consultation with all interested parties?
How do we strip away all the spin doctoring to understand the fundamentals?
What is our role?
Can we morally and ethically be silent?
