Ontario to fund $41M irrigation expansion in Niagara to combat drought and support farms.
Niagara is set to receive up to $41 million in provincial funding to expand irrigation systems in Niagara-on-the-Lake, west St. Catharines, and Lincoln, supporting high-value crops like vineyards and orchards amid growing drought risks.
The project aims to improve water access for farmers and property owners, with infrastructure development and upgrades to existing systems, including modern pumping stations.
Participation is voluntary and requires early commitment, as the system will have fixed capacity.
A comprehensive study will guide design decisions, including pump locations and environmental impacts, with completion expected by late 2026.
Officials say the initiative will boost agricultural sustainability, property values, and regional economic growth, with interest from greenhouse and nursery operators.
