2025 Water Update: February 13
February 13, 2025
Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District (LNID) is continuing the spirit of communication with fellow water users of the Oldman and South Saskatchewan River Basin by sharing our perspectives on the current water supply situation and management of available water. LNID holds large and senior licences on the Oldman River mainstem and will be accountable in allocating, monitoring and tracking our irrigation use as we do every year. As signatories of the AIDA Human Use and Livestock Sustenance Declaration, LNID will continue to assure water volumes are set aside for our thriving communities while making best use of available water in the system to grow our food. We continue to collaborate with Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation’s Water Infrastructure Operations Branch and Alberta Environment and Protected Areas in balancing commitments and opportunities for protecting the aquatic environment and meeting other essential needs.
