Description

The purpose of this framework is to outline the approach Alberta will use to plan, coordinate, assess and implement flood mitigation projects on a watershed basis. The approach will reduce the risk of future flood events causing negative impacts on communities, the economy, and the environment. The approach will consider balancing water supply with water needs given the potential risk of drought. The approved mitigation projects will likely vary for each of the watersheds. Public and stakeholder consultation and cost/benefit analyses will be important components of projects that are brought forward.
