The Irrigation Management Climate Information Network (IMCIN) is intended to provide the irrigation industry in Alberta with up-to-date information on crop water use and agro-climatic conditions throughout southern Alberta. For comparative purposes, summary information from previous years is also provided.
Whether you are an irrigation water user, water manager or affiliated in some other way with irrigated crop production, the IMCIN web page will keep you up to date on current conditions and provide a forecast for irrigation requirements throughout the major irrigated areas of southern Alberta.
The data collected and posted on this page include: Rainfall, Corn Heat Units, Maximum and Minimum Temperatures, Solar Radiation, Relative Humidity and Wind. All data provided reflect measured amounts at specific meteorological stations throughout southern Alberta. Actual conditions in any given locality/field, particularly for precipitation, could vary noticeably from that recorded at the given meteorological station.
Irrigation management information for various crops is also posted on this web site. This information is meant to be a guide to irrigators and is specific to each reporting station. The posted crop moisture use values are calculated based on recorded climate parameters and are updated along with the climate conditions. Projected crop moisture use is an average value and is based on historical data. |
