This book was released on 1969 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of irrigation in Manitoba concentrates on the preliminary design and costing of a proposed distribution system. It attempts to define the total water requirements for irrigation in terms of upset or limit values. Arbitrary assumptions on land suitability and availability of water have been made to limit the extent of this study and some of the related subjects are only briefly discussed. The gross area considered suitable for irrigation in Manitoba equals 6.4 million acres with an average consumptive use requirement of 1.72 million acre feet, an average annual diversion requirement of 4.5 million acre feet and a maximum annual diversion requirement of 15.0 million acre feet. These requirements compare with an estimated available supply of water to this area in the order of 50 million acre feet. It appears that there is a surplus water in the order of 35 million acre feet per year. Costs of water diverted for delivery to the farm vary from $10 to $58 per acre foot depending on relative location of source and farm. Average costs for the Province are $20 to $30. The economics of canal lining are dependent on the cost of water supplied to Southern Manitoba. The costs in this study are based on water available in the upper Assiniboine River. If all water had to be obtained in Lake Manitoba, all of the foregoing costs would be appreciably higher. Further study is recommended in the general areas of smaller irrigation district design, methods of water application, use of return flows, drainage improvement requirements, ground water movements, and pumping costs. Also with particular reference to this study, the long term storage requirements, local runoff and return flow use, and the irrigation of clay soils warrant further attention.

Book excerpt: These guidelines provide basic information about the more important aspects of preparing, designing and operating agricultural irrigation systems using treated municipal wastewater or effluent. The publication covers the legal requirements; determining the feasibility of use, including the quality of the wastewater, the land base, the soils, the crops, system selection, and agreements and cost sharing; a system design; and methods of operating. A glossary of terms, and legislation affecting such irrigation are included.

Proven and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2005 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As populations increase, human, municipal, industrial and agricultural demands on water increase. It is imperative that legislation, management plans and efficient allocation plans be prepared that satisfy the needs of all stakeholders. Manitoba has long been a province with abundant fresh water resources. Only recently have the demands of multiple stakeholder groups put pressure on the available water, particularly in the Assiniboine Delta Aquifer (ADA) area. Potato growers in the ADA rely on the water in the aquifer as a source of irrigation water. Demands of local processors have increased the demand for irrigated potato acres in the area. The current water allocation rules limit the amount of available water to be used for irrigation, despite the large potential economic benefits of irrigated potatoes. This research examines three types of analyses to study the economic impact of water for irrigated potatoes in the ADA area: a simulation of the water balance in the ADA; a simulation of the water-yield-revenue relationship; and an on-farm capital, financial and economic valuation analysis. The combination of these three analyses provides insight into the possible availability of water for irrgation in the ADA and the economic value of the irrigated potato acres. Results of the water balance simulation suggest that the ADA has excess water capacity in normal and wet years that could be allocated to irrigators. In dry years, the allocation needs to be carefully managed, but the down-draw of the aquifer is minimal and rebounds quickly. Measured as EBITDA, the economic potential of the existing irrigated acres EBITDA ranges between 10 and 38 million dollars, and on-farm benifit-cost ratios and IRR confirm that potato farming is an excellent agricultural investment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manitoba is more than one of Canada's three prairie provinces. Encompassing 649,950 square kilometres, its territory ranges from Canadian Shield to grassland, parkland, and subarctic tundra. Its physical geography has been shaped by ice-age glaciers, while its human geography reflects the influences of its various inhabitants, from the First Nations who began arriving over 9,000 years ago, to its most recent immigrants. This fascinating range of geographical elements has given Manitoba a distinct identity and makes it a unique area for study. Geography of Manitoba is the first comprehensive guide to all aspects of the human and physical geography of this unique province. Representing the work of 47 scholars, and illustrated with over 200 maps, diagrams, and photographs, it is divided into four main sections, covering the major areas of the province's geography: Physical Background; People and Settlements; Resources and Industry; and Recreation.As well as studying historical developments, the contributors to Geography of Manitoba analyse recent political and economic events in the province, including the effect of federal and provincial elections and international trade agreements. They also comment on future prospects for the province, considering areas as diverse as resource management and climatic trends.
