Saskatchewan-Alberta Bilateral Water Management AgreementBilateral Water Management Agreement • April 17th, 2024
The Parties agree that their intent is to manage water quality within the range of natural variability. Triggers are designed to be set considering the natural range of variability. Transboundary Water Quality Objectives are to be designed to protect the most sensitive use, while recognizing and accounting for natural levels in those ecosystems. It is also understood that Transboundary Water Quality Objectives, when they are set, may be beyond the range of natural variability, while still being suitably precautionary and in accordance with section E4 below. The parties agree to avoid water quality degradation from the addition of human-made toxic, bioaccumulative, and persistent substances.

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.
