Phase II - Finding the Balance Between Water Consumption and Environmental Protection in the South Saskatchewan River Basin

South Saskatchewan River Basin
Water Management Plan - Phase One

Alberta Environment is developing a multi-phase water management plan for the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB), which includes the sub-basins of the Red Deer, Bow, and Oldman Rivers (including the South Saskatchewan).

The purpose of the plan is to resolve water management issues such as the availability of water for future allocations and river flows for the aquatic environment. The first phase is devoted to the development of a system for water allocation transfers. License transfers will permit water allocations to be moved (within the SSRB only) to where the water is most highly valued, subject to conditions. A key goal is to develop the conditions that will be applied. The first phase is ready for implementation.
