Shepard Stormwater Diversion

The Shepard Stormwater Diversion project will address stormwater quality and quantity issues in the Western Irrigation District (WID) system. Much of East Calgary presently drains to the Alberta Environment Headworks (AENV), Western Headworks (WH) Canal and then into the Western Irrigation District.
During major storm events, the Shepard Stormwater Diversion Project will divert water from the WH Canal to the Bow River by way of a 3.5 km drainage channel, a 155 hectare constructed treatment wetland, and a 9.5 km ditch and discharge structure.
The presentation prior to the tour will provide background on the project, benefits provided by the project, and illustrate the construction sequence.
