If you’re new to gardening, starting a garden can be quite intimidating. The learning curve can seem steep and the barriers to enty can feel vast. Having a beautiful, productive garden like those you might see around your neighborhood can seem like an unreachable goal. What isn’t obvious when encountering nice gardens are the mistakes made, the lessons learned, and the years of trial and error…
The Brooks Aqueduct is one of many Canadian Pacific Railway irrigation projects that were intended to promote settlement in southeastern Alberta in the early part of last century. The aqueduct brought water to an area that was little more than a desert.
Construction begun in 1908 to bring water from the Lake Newell reservoir across a dried-up river bed 3.2 km wide. The Brooks Aqueduct was considered a major engineering feat in its day, featuring a catenary-shaped flume mounted on columns 60 feet high in places and an inverted syphon under the railway line.
It remained operational for 65 years when it was ultimately replaced by a canal and was left as it was. It is now a National Historic Site of Canada.
