Description

This report presents median and 90th percentile (peak) concentrations calculated from monthly water quality samples at Long-Term River Network stations across the South Saskatchewan River Basin. The results of the report address whether there is a significant change in water quality parameters from historical concentrations, and whether there were any exceedances of limits as defined in the South Saskatchewan Region Surface Water Quality Management Framework. The data provided in this report fulfills the reporting requirements mandated by the Framework, which supports the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan. This publication informs appropriate management responses where necessary and provides reporting of ambient conditions to the Alberta public.

Description

The South Saskatchewan River Operations Model (SSROM) is a comprehensive, daily, mass balance river model for the entire South Saskatchewan River Basins (SSRB). The various sub-basin models were constructed between 2011 to 2015, to create the SSROM. Given the significant changes in the SSRB water management system since 2015, the SSROM model was updated in 2022 to reflect the current water management practices in the basin. In addition, the underlying Operational Analysis and Simulation of Integrated Systems (OASIS) modelling platform was also updated.
