Watershed Management
"Watershed management recognizes that land use practices play an important role in the overall health of the aquatic environment and that many jurisdictions, agencies and user groups within a watershed have the potential to affect water quality and quantity. Watershed management also recognizes that no single agency or authority has the capacity to take action to ensure overall health of a watershed. For this reason, watershed management employs an integrated land and water use approach that involves all user groups making recommendations to the appropriate decision-making authorities and undertaking actions that benefit Alberta’s watersheds."
