Voluntary water limits put in place in face of possible Alberta drought

Voluntary water limits put in place in face of possible Alberta drought

More than three dozen of Alberta's largest water users have agreed with a provincial plan to cut back on water usage this year ahead of a severe drought expected this summer.

More than three dozen of Alberta's largest water users have agreed with a provincial plan to cut back on water usage this year ahead of a severe drought expected this summer.

"With these agreements, Albertans are once again coming together when times get toughest," said Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz in a news release.

"They will help make the most of our limited water supplies and make every drop count if a severe drought hits this summer. These irrigators, industry and municipalities are demonstrating the leadership, dedication and community spirit that makes this province great."

The agreement comes after Alberta experienced "several dry years" and an extremely warm and dry winter, the province said.

The deal was struck following negotiations between the provincial government and Alberta's water licensees, who represent 90 per cent of the water allocated in the Bow and Old Man basins, and 70 per cent of the Red Deer River basin.

"TransAlta recognizes the unique role our Bow River system plays in managing water flows while also serving as a key component of Alberta’s electricity grid," said Blain van Melle, executive vice-president, commercial and customer relations, TransAlta.

"We look forward to working with the government and downstream stakeholders to maximize water storage in the spring and optimize flows during the summer to help mitigate drought conditions should they occur."
