Description
Riparian areas on public land are the vegetation zones next to flowing and standing water bodies. Although they make up only about two per cent of the land in Alberta, they are often far more productive than the adjoining upland. Because of this, they are used extensively by wildlife, agricultural producers and recreationists. This backgrounder provides general information on the importance of riparian areas and industrial use of riparian areas.
