Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring

Alberta Environment's goal is to sustain a high quality of life.

Albertans value their environment for the ecological, economic and aesthetic benefits it provides now and for the future. Alberta Environment manages the use, and ensures the protection of, our diverse environment to sustain natural ecosystems, healthy Albertans, strong communities and a prosperous economy.

Water Management Operations (WMO) carries out extensive monitoring and mitigation activities throughout the Province, in alignment with the mission and vision of Alberta Environment.

Monitoring:

• Study environmental effects of water management projects
• Evaluate effectiveness of mitigation programs
• Compare actual to predicted impacts

Mitigation:

• Work to reduce environmental impacts of water management projects
• Where possible, improve in-stream conditions
• Collaborate with basin/watershed planning groups
