  • Brazeau Subwatershed
    5.2 BRAZEAU SUBWATERSHED The Brazeau Subwatershed encompasses a biologically diverse area within parts of the Rocky Mountain and Foothills natural regions. The Subwatershed covers 689,198 hectares of land and includes 18,460 hectares of lakes, rivers, reservoirs and icefields. The Brazeau is in the municipal boundaries of Clearwater, Yellowhead and Brazeau Counties. The 5,000 hectare Brazeau Canyon Wildland Provincial Park, along with the 1,030 hectare Marshybank Ecological reserve, established in 1987, lie in the Brazeau Subwatershed. About 16.4% of the Brazeau Subwatershed lies within Banff and Jasper National Parks. The Subwatershed is sparsely populated, but includes the First Nation O’Chiese 203 and Sunchild 202 reserves. Recreation activities include trail riding, hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many of the indicators described below are referenced from the “Brazeau Hydrological Overview” map locat- ed in the adjacent map pocket, or as a separate Adobe Acrobat file on the CD-ROM. 5.2.1 Land Use Changes in land use patterns reflect major trends in development. Land use changes and subsequent changes in land use practices may impact both the quantity and quality of water in the Subwatershed and in the North Saskatchewan Watershed. Five metrics are used to indicate changes in land use and land use practices: riparian health, linear development, land use, livestock density, and wetland inventory. 5.2.1.1 Riparian Health 55 The health of the riparian area around water bodies and along rivers and streams is an indicator of the overall health of a watershed and can reflect changes in land use and management practices.

  • Water Supply Outlook Overview
    Water Supply Outlook Overview For Immediate Release: August 10, 2006 Mountains and foothills receive little rain since mid-June From mid-June through July, precipitation in most mountain and foothill areas of Alberta has ranged from 20 to 60% of normal. As a result, natural runoff volumes measured in July were generally below to much below average, ranking among the second to 25th lowest in 91 years of record. Inflows to the Bighorn Reservoir were average. Total natural runoff volumes so far this year (March through July 2006) have also been much below average at Banff, Edmonton, and the Brazeau Reservoir, and below to much below average in the Red Deer River basin and at the Cascade Reservoir. Volumes are below average in the Milk River basin and most of the rest of the Bow River basin (average to above average at the Spray Reservoir), average in most of the Oldman River basin, and above average at the Bighorn Reservoir. For August through September 2006, natural runoff volumes are forecast to be below average to average in the Oldman River basin, below average in the Bow and Milk River basins, and below to much below average in the Red Deer and North Saskatchewan River basins. Total natural runoff volumes for the water year (March to September 2006) are expected to be below average to average in the Oldman River basin, below average in the Bow and Milk River basins, below to much below average in the Red Deer River basin, and much below average in the North Saskatchewan River basin.

  • Water Supply Outlook Overview
    Water Supply Outlook Overview For Immediate Release: September 5, 2003 Summer very dry in western and southern Alberta Following this summer’s (May through August) trend of below-normal precipitation, rainfall during August was generally below normal in Alberta. As a result, natural run-off volumes were only slightly higher than or approaching those recorded in August 2001, the lowest on record in many areas. For the March through August 2003 period, natural run-off volumes in the Oldman, Milk and Bow River basins generally rank among the 15 to 25 lowest volumes in 85 years of record over the same period. Natural run-off volumes during March through August 2003 range from 65 to 85 per cent of average in the Oldman and Milk River basins, 70 to 95 per cent of average in the Bow River basin and 80 to 105 per cent of average in the North Saskatchewan and Red Deer River basins. Other highlights of the September Water Supply Outlook include: • As of September 1, 2003, water storage in major irrigation reservoirs in the Oldman River basin is below normal. Water storage in the major reservoir of the Red Deer River basin is below normal for this time of year. • Water storage is below normal to normal as of September 1, 2003 in the major hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs of the Bow River basin, except in the Glenmore Reservoir and Upper Kananaskis Lake which are above normal. Storage levels in the North Saskatchewan River basin are below normal at the Brazeau Reservoir and normal at the Bighorn Reservoir.

This information is a key component of responsible land use planning. Alberta Environment and Park’s (AEP) Fish Sustainability Index (FSI), is a standardized process of assessment that provides the framework within which fishery inventories must occur for greatest relevance to government managers and planners.

It is reported that it has a good supply of surface water. However, spatial and temporal variation of the climate and hydrologic cycle has caused regions of water scarcity in this province. Numerous factors contribute to the complexity of water management in Alberta. These include: conflict over water resources; inadequacy of knowledge about existing programs, water uses, and water availability; and the nature and extent of stakeholder participation.
