Alberta irrigation districts push pipeline expansion for water savings
Westwood notes pipeline projects could serve up to 30 000 to 40 000 more acres though exact numbers depend on where acres go and how the network delivers water. As of January 2025 the district submitted its environmental impact assessment and aims for regulatory approval. Funding came from the province to create shovel ready projects, accelerating modernization of open ditches into pipelines to save water and boost agriculture in southern Alberta.
