Description

This report presents the methods used to generate the web-based Condition on Environment (CoE) content published for chloride (Cl-) concentrations in the surface water of major rivers and their tributaries across Alberta. Accordingly, this report helps fulfill the responsibility of reporting to the public on the condition of Alberta's ambient environment, as required by the province's Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. In particular, this report outlines the steps taken to obtain and prepare the data, assess the quality of the data and conduct spatial and temporal analyses of Cl-. The goal of this report is to neither investigate nor summarize potential Cl- sources, but rather to summarize spatial and temporal trend of Cl- concentrations in the surface waters of Alberta's major rivers and tributaries.

Description

The study conducts a review of the North Saskatchewan, Beaver, and Battle River basins to identify areas where infrastructure has been constructed within flood hazard areas. The focus is on groupings of infrastructure that in the event of a major flood would require support from one or more levels of government for relief. When a significant amount of infrastructure was identified as being at risk, conceptual level mitigation measures are explored. Being a high-level study, the recommended mitigation measures are concepts that would require further study, including a cost/benefit analysis and detailed design, before they could be considered for construction.
