Water retention projects can pay off

An International Institute for Sustainable Development report says farms, particularly livestock operations, can see significant benefits from water retention projects installed on their land. The report is the culmination of a study of 10 water retention projects within the Seine Rat Rousseau Watershed District that began in 2019. The projects fall under Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Living Lab Eastern Prairies initiative.
