The water well industry in Alberta

The water well industry in Alberta, and Calibre Drilling Ltd. with it, plays a vital role in supporting the province's agricultural, residential, and industrial sectors. Alberta's diverse geography, including its plains, forests, and mountainous regions, demands varied well-drilling techniques to access groundwater resources. The industry includes activities like drilling, testing, maintenance, and rehabilitation of wells to ensure reliable water access.
Strict regulations govern well construction, operation, and decommissioning to protect groundwater quality and ensure sustainable usage. The Alberta Water Well Drilling Association (AWDA) and other organizations provide guidelines and training for industry professionals. Technological advancements, such as hydrogeological mapping and efficient pumping systems, are driving improvements in water well efficiency and sustainability. As water scarcity concerns grow, the industry and Calibre Drilling Ltd., focus on environmental stewardship and innovative solutions to meet Alberta's water demands.
