Livestock and poultry producers impacted by water shortage and drought conditions can receive streamlined temporary livestock water assistance through Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (EPA).

Producers who have an urgent need for water should contact EPA for support to identify alternative water sources and receive authorization for use under the Water Act.

A fact sheet detailing the protocol for applying, and further guidance, is also available online at open.alberta.ca (opens as PDF).
