The Bow River Irrigation District (BRID) headquarters are located in Vauxhall, 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 communities 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 contains the third largest area under irrigation of Alberta's thirteen irrigation districts - as of June 2014, the District has a total irrigated area of 260,000 acres (105,222 hectares) with 248,401.6 acres (100,528.12 hectares) being irrigated.
