Description

The Cold Lake-Beaver River Water Management Plan was adopted in 1985 to provide direction on managing water resources in the combined Cold Lake and Beaver River basins located approximately 300 km northeast of Edmonton. The intent of the plan was to provide for an adequate quantity and quality of water to meet the long-term user requirements of the basin. Over the past 20 years, the region has experienced increased industrial development, considerable population growth, and years of below-normal precipitation. Collectively, these factors have lead to record low water levels in the area's lakes, rivers and streams. This resulted in a need to assess the current situation, including demands on water resources in the basin, and update the 1985 to meet current and future water needs.
