This schedule sets out the water conservation objective flows for the McPherson Coulee. The location identified in the schedule as the location to meet the objective is Water Survey of Canada Station No. 05BH014 (Nose Creek above Airdrie). Water conservation objectives set out the volume and quality of water to remain in rivers for the protection of a natural water body and its aquatic environment. They are flow targets under the first-in-time, first-in-right priority water allocation system and apply to all new licences and existing licences with a retrofit provision.

Description

ESRD has established the WRRP to promote the long-term ability of watersheds to mitigate the effects of future flood and drought events. The primary objective of the program is to increase the natural ability of the province's watersheds to reduce the intensity, magnitude, duration and effects of flooding and drought through watershed mitigation measures. Additionally, the program aims to address impacts of past flooding and/or droughts through the restoration of degraded priority areas of watersheds which will enhance communities' ability to withstand future flooding or droughts.

Description

This document outlines the ground rules which apply to the Slave Lake Region, including areas outlined in Forest Management Agreements 0600043, 9700036, 0200039, 9700033 and 9000028, as well as to Forestry Management Units S10, S16, and SO2. Ground rules are the practices used in planning and conducting timber harvesting operations. They constitute the methods used to implement decisions made in forest management plans and other higher-level plans such as integrated resource plans. Ground rules establish practices that minimize the chance of negative effects from timber harvesting and forest management operations and activities.

Description

The Southern Alberta Fisheries Habitat Enhancement and Sustainability (FISHES) Program was established to help restore flood-affected fish habitat by identifying the key factors which are limiting aquatic productivity in flood affected watercourses in southern Alberta. The first stage of this program involved a fish habitat assessment which identified "hot spots" that had a high concentration of Water Act Approvals involving instream activities that were considered high risk to fish and which warranted further investigation to determine location, extent and severity of flood impacts on fish and fish habitat. This map displays the watershed high risk concentrations.
