Description

Water supply in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta is naturally subject to highly variable flows. Capture and controlled release of these flows is critical in the management of the available water supply. Expanding population, economic growth and climate variability add additional challenges to managing our limited water supply. This study identifies management of existing reservoirs and the development of additional water storage sites as potential solutions to water management challenges.
