reliable water supply for the 4500 residents of the
Willow Creek Basin, including the towns of Claresholm
and Granum. It will also secure a water source for
irrigated land and allow an expansion of the irrigated
areas already served. The project will enhance fish and
wildlife habitat, as well as create additional
water-based recreational opportunities near the existing
facilities at Willow Creek Provincial Park.
