The timing is pretty great, as the provincial government is starting drought conditions policy for the entire Oldman river watershed, which is at 1/3 of it's normal level. It's going to be a very rough year.
The Grassy project would take about 3/4 of what's left, immediately at the headwater, if it was in operation. It is a very stupid project.
Instead of just farmers and ranchers suffering, towns and cities are now being heavily effected by drought. Pincher Creek is trucking in water right now.
