Municipal District of Acadia Irrigation Project
In 2004, the MD of Acadia commissioned a study with support from the Province and the Federal government to examine large-scale farmland irrigation in the municipality.
This long-term project would bring several significant economic and social benefits should it be built, including:
-
Economic Diversification and Development
-
Attraction of ancillary agriculture business, such as food processors
-
Net financial benefit to the Province of Alberta
-
Greater on-farm crop yields and revenue
-
New recreation opportunities in the MD of Acadia
-
Increased food security
