Review urged for $200 million Red Deer River water transfer
Environmentalists call for a full environmental assessment of the $200 million plan to pipe water from the Red Deer River to east central Alberta. Opponents warn of high costs and damage to river habitat, while supporters say water would revive drought affected towns, irrigation, and local economies. Local meetings in Consort and Hanna highlighted population declines and service cuts as residents seek irrigation and manufacturing lifelines. Rancher Dick Pahl frames the project as stabilizing, noting communities could use water to develop golf courses and irrigation.
