Bow River phosphorus management plan (PMP) : modelling for phosphorus

Description

The Bow River begins in the Rocky Mountains and runs through foothills onto the prairies, ending at the confluence with the Oldman River, where it becomes the South Saskatchewan River. The river is an important source of water for municipal use, livestock, irrigation, fisheries, recreational use and hydroelectric power. Between the Bearspaw and Bassano Dams, population, industry and agriculture result in large volumes of water being withdrawn from the Bow. The high reliance on the Bow River in this area makes it important to understand the quality of the water available and to plan effectively for its use. One component of this planning is water quality modelling.
