Description

The previous guidelines on wastewater irrigation entitled, A practical guide to Municipal Wastewater Irrigation - Discussions and Guidelines, was first published by Alberta Environment in June, 1984. These guidelines were intended for the use of municipalities considering irrigation as a method for disposal of wastewater. After fifteen years, the focus of the program remains the same, i.e. wastewater irrigation is agriculturally beneficial and environmentally acceptable provided effective management practices are adopted and followed. The new guideline contains the procedures that must be followed in developing and managing wastewater irrigation projects, including wastewater quality characterization, land unit suitability factors, soil and vegetation loading limitations, and various irrigation system design considerations.

Description

This planning document presents the GOA's resource management policy for the public lands and resources within the area. It is intended to be a guide for resource managers, industry and the public with responsibility or interest in the area, rather than a regulatory mechanism. Resource potentials and opportunities for development are identified with a view to assisting in the economic progress of Alberta. The plan is sufficiently flexible so that all future proposals for land use and development may be considered.

Description

Sprinkling, as a method of irrigation, has been practiced in Alberta since 1984. It is more particularly recommended for porous, erodible, steep, rolling soils or soils that are too thin for levelling, or where surface irrigation is un-economic in comparison to sprinkling. Sprinkling is also recommended for areas where only occasional supplemental irrigation are needed.
