Alberta takes over Bow river irrigation completion plan
Alberta will assume full responsibility for completing the Bow river irrigation project from Ronalane to Redcliff. The federal government through PFRA will build a siphon and reservoirs, while the province expands the main canal and develops 60 580 distributory canals to irrigate a large tract. No start date was set, but officials expect work in years ahead with emphasis on livestock and feed, not specialty crops.
