How this works in Alberta
A pivot takes the weather bet out of a field, but only if you can legally and physically deliver the water. Licence, source, and power are the first three steps, well before the steel shows up.
This package is for full-scale pivot systems. For a broader look at irrigation options, including drip, wheel-line, and small-scale systems, see the Agricultural Irrigation package. Many operators compare both before committing.
In Alberta, diverting surface or groundwater for irrigation generally needs a licence under the Water Act. Getting a licence can take time, and available water differs by basin, so confirm your source before paying for design.
Pivots pair with power and pump costs that are as large as the pivot itself. Efficiency upgrades and program cost-share for irrigation have been available in Alberta's Water Program. Check the current stream and eligibility.

Common questions
Do I need a water licence for a center pivot in Alberta?
Generally yes, for irrigation diversion. Confirm with Alberta Environment and Protected Areas before design.
How is this different from Agricultural Irrigation?
That package covers irrigation in general. This one is specific to center-pivot systems for field crops.
