Saskatchewan-Alberta Bilateral Water Management AgreementBilateral Water Management Agreement • April 17th, 2024
At the time of signing, none of the Transboundary Waters were classified. As needed, the Bilateral Management Committee (BMC) will work to develop a reproducible approach to the classification of Transboundary Waters that meets both Parties’ interests. The BMC will begin this work by reviewing relevant risk assessment tools (e.g., desktop tools for comparison of withdrawals/consumption to Available Water, flow statistics and/or flow needs). Other factors which could be considered include the seasonal flow fluctuations (e.g., winter and summer low flows and spring-summer floods), statistical probabilities of extreme flow rates (e.g., flood and drought risks), the average recorded flow rate (e.g. mean monthly flows), stream size (e.g., as a function of long term mean annual discharge), the annual totals of allocated withdrawals and, when required, the estimation of consumption and return flows, etc.
