Description

This report was submitted as advice to guide development of Phase 2 of the water management plan for the South Saskatchewan River Basin. It presents the work of four basin advisory committees which were formed for the primary purpose of recommending water conservation objectives for each major river downstream of the major dams that would provide a reference point for the future and would describe the best balance between protection of the aquatic environment and consumption of water for economic growth.

South Saskatchewan River Basin water management plan phase 2 : scenario modelling results, part 1

Phase 2 of the South Saskatchewan River Basin Water Management Plan will recommend water conservation objectives for the major mainstem reaches of the Red Deer, Bow, Oldman, Waterton, Belly, St.... More ≫

Description

Phase 2 of the South Saskatchewan River Basin Water Management Plan will recommend water conservation objectives for the major mainstem reaches of the Red Deer, Bow, Oldman, Waterton, Belly, St. Mary and South Saskatchewan rivers. Because of the complexity and significant consequences that establishing water conservation objectives are expected to have, it was decided to divide modelling of Phase 2 into two parts. Part 1, the subject of this report, is an exploratory and educational exercise that gathers information on the current and "committed to" state of the basin, and the potential consequences of a number of hypothetical water management scenarios. The report documents results obtained from eight scenario simulations using Alberta Environment's Water Resources Management Model.

Description

Presents long-term forecasts for population and water demand (withdrawals and consumptive use) to assist with water management planning in the South Saskatchewan River Basin. The major water use categories quantified are municipal, industrial, stockwatering, other agricultural (non-irrigation) and water management. (Water management uses include licensed projects involving lake stabilization, remediation and flood control.) The study was commissioned as part of the South Saskatchewan River Basin water management review.
