Alberta drought response plan

Description

Alberta's Drought Response Plan is a multi-stage roadmap, covering everything from conservation plans and water-sharing agreements to declaring an emergency and prioritizing water for human health and safety. The plan outlines: five stages of Alberta's drought response; the roles and responsibilities of partners, including government, to help everyone collaborate and communicate; regulatory and non-regulatory approaches and tools that may be used in various drought conditions; and how and when emergencies would be declared as a last resort.
