Alberta's 13 irrigation districts contain more than 55 reservoirs and approximately 8,000 km of conveyance works, including canals and pipelines. Good quality irrigation water is needed for all uses of the water: agricultural production, municipal water supply, wildlife habitat, and numerous recreational activities such as fishing, camping, and golfing. A five-year study (2011 to 2015) was conducted to assess the quality of irrigation water in these districts. This report summarizes activities and findings of the 2014 sampling season.

Description

Irrigated agriculture accounts for a large portion of agricultural production in Alberta. Water quality is intricately linked to agricultural production. Quality production is reliant upon clean source water. Water quality deterioration can occur in a number of ways, including land use impacts from agricultural, industrial, urban, and rural development. The objectives of this study were to: assess the quality of source water used for irrigation from a food production perspective; assess changes in water quality as water travels through the irrigation infrastructure; determine if there are differences in water quality among the irrigation districts; and determine if there are differences in water quality between two types of conveyance systems.
