About the project

In Niagara, there is a pressing need for a communal irrigation system that can supply water to a range of agricultural operations. A need has been identified for a new piped system in the Lincoln / St. Catharines area below the escarpment and for upgrades to the existing open channel system in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Several previous studies have been conducted to assess the necessity, feasibility, advantages, and potential operation of these irrigation systems. Alongside preliminary design work, these studies have laid the groundwork for this study.

Niagara Region is managing this study on behalf of the agricultural community, Town of Lincoln, City of St. Catharines and Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake.
