Abstract

The primary objective of this study was to use an input-output model in determining the ex post contributions of irrigation development in southern Alberta. Specifically, this study was designed to: estimate the contributions of irrigated agricultural production to the provincial economy of Alberta; determine the direct and indirect employment of labour resources as a result of irrigated agriculture; and estimate the effect of irrigated agriculture on the generation of government revenues.
