Southern Alberta depends on irrigation and we withdraw loads of water from the Oldman for agriculture. Agriculture provides 80% of our economy! ....But is the water going to Frankenpotatoes?!
OWC has invested in natural infrastructure for many years to support valuable benefits to our watershed. In this blog, our Restoration Manager provides some insights on the restoration work OWC is investing in and how you can be part of that!
Spring is the time of year to look at the water forecast for the coming year. Find updates on our watershed’s drought stage, water sharing agreements, reservoir levels, and snowpack accumulation.
