Irrigation Sector

Conservation, Efficiency,

Productivity Plan

 

Alberta’s Water for Life Strategy set a goal of attaining a 30% increase in water efficiency and productivity from 2005 through 2015.  AIPA, with the help of a 10-member steering committee and AECOM consulting, developed a plan for the irrigation sector to do just that.

Funding for the plan development was supplied by Alberta Environment, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Canada-Alberta Water Supply Expansion Program.

Over 250 person-days of volunteer effort went into plan development.

The bottom line is that the irrigation sector will strive to increase efficiency by 15% and productivity by 15%.

Which Reservoir are You Camping At This Summer?

 

When you enjoy “a day at the lake” boating, fishing, or on the beach anywhere south and east of Calgary, you are likely enjoying “a day at the reservoir. “ The vast majority of water-based recreation east of the foothills in southern Alberta is dependent on Alberta’s irrigation system.

Check out the new recreation section on our website to view photos of 23 parks and day use areas on irrigation reservoirs, or that are fed by irrigation water. The parks are grouped in regions surrounding and between specific communities. Browsing these parks is one way to explore potential new campsites that you might want to visit this year. Some of the campsites are owned and operated by Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreations, some by Counties, one by a private company, some by cities or towns, some by societies, and some by irrigation districts [more...].
