The Story of Water Management on the Bow River

Through the vision, funding and support of the Bow River Irrigation District, Eastern Irrigation District and Western Irrigations District, we are excited to showcase this initial series of ten HD-quality, professional videos on The Story of Water Management on the Bow River.

Water is the lifeblood of southern Alberta and the Bow River is critical to the health of the Region. This educational series of vignettes, shot in spectacular High Definition, takes the viewer on a journey of Water Stewardship of the Bow River and how that stewardship affects life in the Bow Basin. Designed for both students and general audiences, the series looks at the importance of irrigation to life in Southern Alberta.
