What is the average daily water use planned per person in Alberta Agriculture and Food?

In Alberta Agriculture and Food, the average daily water use planned per person is set at 50 gallons per day (gpd). This figure reflects the requirements for agricultural practices, including livestock, crop irrigation, and other related needs, while considering sustainability and resource conservation.

The determination of this average is based on various factors such as the climatic conditions, types of crops grown, and standards for livestock hydration. By maintaining a standard of 50 gpd, it ensures that agricultural operations can be effective without over-extracting water from natural sources, which aligns with responsible water management policies in the region.

Choosing this average helps in planning and resource allocation, ensuring that there is enough water available for both agricultural needs and the surrounding ecosystem.
