The southern interior hosts a desert; definitely not a lot of rain there. ;) We're building rain storage right now, in the form of Site C.

- cmrdporcupine 5y agoWouldn't you say Site C more of a glacial-melt supplied reservoir? EDIT: It's a dam built on the Peace, which is out of the Rockies, on the other side from most of BC. And a long way from anywhere in B.C. that will be requiring drinking water or irrigation really. The farm land that would be irrigated I would imagine would be primarily on the Alberta side.
- dleslie 5y agoIt's a snow-pack reservoir, I think. The intended use of the water is for power generation, but I think dams are clear model of how to build rain water reservoirs going forward.
