Description

The 10-year Irrigation District Water Quality Project was conducted to assess the quality of irrigation water in Alberta’s irrigation districts. This fact sheet is part of a series of reports based on data collected during the project, and focuses on the susceptibility of Alberta’s irrigation water to invasive mussels. It outlines the threat of freshwater invasive mussels to Alberta’s aquatic environment and irrigation industry, and what aspects of Alberta’s irrigation water quality make it susceptible to the growth and survival of invasive mussels.

Description

Research has shown that in Alberta, the amount of phosphorus in streams increases with agricultural intensity in watersheds. The goal of the Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project was to determine if wide-spread adoption of environmental beneficial management practices would improve water quality at the watershed scale, as well as to develop the Alberta Phosphorus Management Tool. This report supplements the previously published 2013–2017 Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project progress report by summarizing the results and progress of the Alberta Phosphorus Watershed Project from 2018–2020.
