The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has declared multiple watersheds in Alberta “infected” with whirling disease. Whirling disease may not be present in all waterbodies within a declared watershed. The confirmed red zones are the waterbodies where provincial monitoring detected whirling disease. This is effective as of April 25, 2018. Provincial monitoring is ongoing.

From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.

Rural Economy Project Report
RURAL ECONOMY A Random Utility Analysis of Southern Alberta Sportfishing T. Peters, W.L. Adamowicz and P.C. Boxall Project Report 95-02 PROJECT REPORT Department of Rural Economy Faculty of Agriculture, Forestry, And Home Economics A Random Utility Analysis of Southern Alberta Sportfishing T. Peters, W.L. Adamowicz, and P.C. Boxall Project Report 95-02 The authors are: Research Assistant, Department of Rural Economy, University of Alberta, Associate Professor, Department of Rural Economy, University of Alberta, and Non-timber Valuation Economist, Canadian Forest Service, Edmonton. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We thank Frank Bishop and Della Clish of the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Division for important suggestions concerning sportfishing in southern Alberta and technical assistance. We also welcome the interest of Trout Unlimited in supporting the study. We gratefully acknowledge the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Division and the Fisheries Enhancement Fund for funding this project. PREFACE This is the third report resulting from the study: "A Socioeconomic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta." The first report dealt with general results from the survey, while the second focused specifically on the impacts of the Oldman River Dam on recreational fishing in the Crowsnest area. This, the third report, examines the economics of fishing in a more regional framework, and investigates a number of behavioural assumptions in deriving non-market values associated with fishing in the area. A number of resource management scenarios are examined in this study. These were chosen with no particular knowledge of actual or contemplated management actions. However, the treatment of these scenarios illustrate how a vast number of management alternatives which result in changes in environmental or recreation quality could be examined in an economic context.

The Little Bow Gets Bigger – Alberta's Newest River
ALBERTA WILDERNESS Article ASSOCIATION Wild Lands Advocate 13(1): 14 - 17, February 2005 The Little Bow Gets Bigger – Alberta’s Newest River Dam By Dr. Stewart B. Rood, Glenda M. Samuelson and Sarah G. Bigelow The Little Bow/Highwood Rivers Project includes Alberta’s newest dam and provides the second major water project to follow the Oldman River Dam. The controversy surrounding the Oldman Dam attracted national attention that peaked in about 1990, and legal consideration up to the level of the Supreme Court over federal versus provincial jurisdiction and the nature and need for environmental impact analysis. A key outcome was that while environmental matters are substantially under provincial jurisdiction, rivers involve fisheries, navigation, and First Nations issues that invoke federal responsibility. As a consequence, any major water management project in Canada requires both provincial and federal review. At the time of the Oldman Dam Project, three other proposed river projects in Alberta had received considerable support and even partial approval. Of these, the Pine Coulee Project was the first to advance, probably partly because it was expected to be the least controversial and complex. That project involved the construction of a small dam on Willow Creek, about an hour south of Calgary. A canal from that dam diverts water to be stored in a larger, offstream reservoir in Pine Coulee. That water would then be available for release back into Willow Creek during the late summer when flows are naturally low but irrigation demands are high. Pine Coulee was generally a dry prairie coulee and reservoir flooding did not inundate riparian woodlands or an extensive stream channel.

The "serious" adjective is generally prepended to refer to video games used by industries like defense, education, scientific exploration, health care, emergency management, city planning, engineering, and politics.” 4 5 The three inflow channels provide natural water supply into the model. The three inflow channels are the Bow River just downstream of the Bearspaw Dam and the inflows from the Elbow and Highwood River tributaries. The downstream end of the model is the junction with the Oldman River which then forms the South Saskatchewan River. The model includes the Glenmore Reservoir located on the Elbow River, upstream of the junction with the Bow River. 6 The Tutorial Mode consists of two interactive tutorials. The first tutorial introduces stakeholders to water management concepts and the second tutorial introduces the users to the Bow River Sim. The tutorials are guided by “Wheaton” an animated stalk of wheat who guides the users through the tutorials. 7 - Exploration Mode lets people play freely with sliders, etc, and see what the results are. - The Challenge Mode explores the concept of goal-oriented play which helps users further explore and learn about the WRMM model and water management. In Challenge Mode, the parameters that could be changed were limited, and the stakeholders are provided with specific learning objectives. Three challenges are introduced in this order: Reservoir Challenge, Calgary Challenge and Priority Challenge. 8 9 Flood Hazard Identification Program Objectives 10 Overview of our flood mapping web application – Multiple uses Supports internal and external groups Co-funded by Government of Alberta and Government of Canada through the National Disaster Mitigation program.

Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta
Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Submitted to: Submitted by: SSRB Water Storage Opportunities AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Steering Committee a Division of AMEC Americas Limited Lethbridge, Alberta Lethbridge, Alberta 2014 amec.com WATER STORAGE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER BASIN IN ALBERTA Submitted to: SSRB Water Storage Opportunities Steering Committee Lethbridge, Alberta Submitted by: AMEC Environment & Infrastructure Lethbridge, Alberta July 2014 CW2154 SSRB Water Storage Opportunities Steering Committee Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin Lethbridge, Alberta July 2014 Executive Summary Water supply in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) in Alberta is naturally subject to highly variable flows. Capture and controlled release of surface water runoff is critical in the management of the available water supply. In addition to supply constraints, expanding population, accelerating economic growth and climate change impacts add additional challenges to managing our limited water supply. The South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Water Supply Study (AMEC, 2009) identified re-management of existing reservoirs and the development of additional water storage sites as potential solutions to reduce the risk of water shortages for junior license holders and the aquatic environment. Modelling done as part of that study indicated that surplus water may be available and storage development may reduce deficits. This study is a follow up on the major conclusions of the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Water Supply Study (AMEC, 2009). It addresses the provincial Water for Life goal of “reliable, quality water supplies for a sustainable economy” while respecting interprovincial and international apportionment agreements and other legislative requirements.
