Contains materials used in targeted information sessions for the Surface Water Allocation Directive internal operational policy. Sessions held in Calgary and Edmonton, October 1 and 2, 2018 for stakeholders involved in Water Act licence applications. Environmental non-governmental organizations also participated in the information sessions and information letters were sent to Indigenous organizations and communities. Feedback was also received through an online survey open from October 1 to November 9, 2018, and via email and letters, leading to in-person follow up meetings when requested. The final policy provides operational water allocation decision guidance based on scientifically defensible rulesets to address the cumulative effects of water diversions while considering economic objectives.
