Bow River Irrigation District

The Bow River Irrigation District (BRID) headquarters are located in Vauxhall, Alberta (approximately 2½ hrs. south east of Calgary, Alberta). The BRID owns and operates several hundred kilometres of earth canals and water pipelines, as well as several reservoirs. This infrastructure is used to provide irrigation and domestic water for farming, industry, wildlife, and towns within the district's boundaries.

Water for the BRID is diverted from the Bow River at the Caresland Weir. Lake McGregor, Travers Reservoir, and Little Bow Reservoir are the major water storage reservoirs for the BRID, which are owned and maintained by Alberta Environment, a branch of the Government of Alberta.

The BRID is administered by an elected Board of Directors and their staff.
