Months after officials promised a major irrigation agreement in southern Alberta might only be a first step, new work will study water security in Special Areas and near Acadia Valley.
The municipality north of Cypress County and Medicine Hat on the Red Deer River has been studying the formation of a new irrigation district since the 1980s.
Last week, the M.D. of Acadia, Agriculture Alberta and the federal government’s Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) announced a new agreement to study the potential to store and deliver water across the vast, arid land base in east-central Alberta.
