As part of the study”s mission to provide a comprehensive, scientifically sound analysis of current and future water management within the irrigation districts, six specific objectives were set:
Identify and quantify current irrigation water requirements and the state of current irrigation water management;
Quantify changes in water use and water management efficiencies during the 1990s;
Quantify possible future irrigation water use;
Develop leading-edge computer tools to assess current and future irrigation water use and management opportunities;
Assess the risks, impacts and possibilities of irrigation area expansion;
Assess the potential contribution of irrigation expansion to the provincial economy. http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/irr4421?opendocument#Complete
