Description

The technical report summarizes temporal trends occurring for select water quality parameters within a 15-year dataset of water quality information collected during the Irrigation District Water Quality program. Temporal trends at the regional and sample site scale were conducted to determine overall change in water quality parameters and identify possible areas of concern. This information is critical for enabling the agriculture and irrigation sectors to be proactive in addressing environmental concerns, food safety and demonstrating stewardship of Alberta’s land and water resources.

Description

Groundwater quality in the Battersea Drainage Basin, an irrigated area of southern Alberta with a high density of intensive livestock operations, was monitored from 1995 to 2001. The goal was to characterize groundwater flow and quality, and to determine whether groundwater quality changed between this period. The information gathered in this report will be used to identify and promote the most appropriate management practices to minimize water contamination, and to serve as a baseline to monitor the impact of implementation of beneficial management practices in the basin.
