Little Red Deer Subwatershed Red Deer River State of the Watershed Report 4.4 Little Red Deer River Subwatershed 4.4.1 Watershed Characteristics The Little Red Deer River subwatershed encompasses about 397,166 ha and is located in the Counties of Mountain View and Red Deer and the Municipal Districts of Bighorn No. 8 and Rocky View No. 44 (Figure 112). The Little Red Deer River subwatershed is located south of Gleniffer Lake Reservoir and east of the upper reaches of the Red Deer River. The subwatershed lies in the Subalpine, Upper and Lower Foothills, Foothills Parkland, Dry Mixedwood and Central Parkland Subregions (Figure 113). Soils vary widely, reflecting the great diversity in parent materials and ecological conditions. The vegetation consist of lodgepole pine (P. contorta), Engelmann spruce (P. engelmannii), subalpine fir (A. lasiocarpa) and whitebark pine (P. albicaulis). High elevation grasslands also occur in the Subalpine Subregion. The Upper Foothills Subregion occurs on strongly rolling topography along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. Upland forests are nearly all coniferous and dominated by white spruce (P. glauca), black spruce (P. mariana), lodgepole pine (P. contorta) and subalpine fir (A. lasiocarpa). The Lower Foothills Subregion is dominated by mixed forests of white spruce (P. glauca), black spruce (P. mariana), lodgepole pine (P. contorta), balsam fir (A. balsamea), aspen (Populus spp.), balsam poplar (P. balsamifera) and paper birch (B. papyrifera). The Foothills Parkland is dominated by aspen (Populus spp.), balsam poplar (P. balsamifera) and Bebb willow (S. bebbiana), with a lush understory dominated by a variety of herbaceous plants. Forests in the Dry Mixedwood Subregion are dominated by aspen (Populus spp.), balsam poplar (P.

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.

Water Quality in the South SK River Basin
Water Quality in the South SK River Basin I AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER BASIN I.1 The Saskatchewan River Basin The South Saskatchewan River joins the North Saskatchewan River to form one of the largest river systems in western Canada, the Saskatchewan River System, which flows from the headwater regions along the Rocky Mountains of south-west Alberta and across the prairie provinces of Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba). The Prairie physiographic region is characterized by rich soils, thick glacial drift and extensive aquifer systems, and a consistent topography of broad rolling hills and low gradients which create isolated surface wetlands. In contrast, the headwater region of the Saskatchewan River (the Western Cordillera physiographic region) is dominated by thin mineral soils and steep topography, with highly connected surface drainage systems and intermittent groundwater contributions to surface water systems. As a result, the Saskatchewan River transforms gradually in its course across the provinces: from its oxygen-rich, fast flowing and highly turbid tributaries in Alberta to a meandering, nutrient-rich and biologically diverse prairie river in Saskatchewan. There are approximately 3 million people who live and work in the Saskatchewan River Basin and countless industries which operate in the basin as well, including pulp and paper mills, forestry, oil and gas extraction, mining (coal, potash, gravel, etc.), and agriculture. As the fourth longest river system in North America, the South Saskatchewan River Basin covers an incredibly large area, draining a surface of approximately 405 860 km² (Partners FOR the Saskatchewan River Basin, 2009). Most of the water that flows in the Saskatchewan River originates in the Rocky Mountains of the Western Cordillera, although some recharge occurs in the prairie regions of Alberta and Saskatchewan through year-round groundwater contributions, spring snow melt in March or April, and summer rainfall in May and early July (J.W.

Fall Walleye Index Netting at Gleniffer Lake, Alberta, 2012
Fall Walleye Index Netting at Gleniffer Lake, Alberta, 2012 Fisheries Management Red Deer Area February 28, 2013 Fall Walleye Index Netting at Gleniffer Lake, Alberta, 2012 Fisheries Biologist(s): Jason Cooper, Kelly Dick – Fisheries Management, Red Deer Disclaimer This is a summary report prepared for public distribution by Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, Fisheries Management Branch. This report has been peer reviewed, but may be subject to revision pending further data analysis. Abstract A total of 289 fish representing five species were caught during the Fall Walleye Index Netting (FWIN) survey. Walleye were the second most abundant species in the FWIN nets accounting for 37% of the catch. Individual net catches were variable ranging from 0 to 20 Walleye. The catch-per-unit effort (CPUE) for Walleye was 6.2 fish·100m-2·24hrs-1 (95% C.I. 4.0–8.6), which is considerably less than the Alberta mean of 18.6 fish·100m- 2·24hrs-1. Walleye total lengths (TL) (n=107) ranged from 118 to 695 mm and fish over 500 mm TL represented 11% of the catch. The majority of fish were in the 290 to 400 mm TL size category. There were 5 age-classes present (ages 0, 3, 5, 6 and 12) and 27% of the Walleye sampled were mature. Mean age-at-maturity was difficult to determine due to age-class gaps and low sample sizes, but females and males first matured by ages 6 and 5, respectively. Walleye reached a mean TL of 500 mm by age 6 and the growth curve suggests that the asymptotic average maximum body size (Linf) was 926.8 mm TL.

Review of the Implementation of the Approved Water Management Plan for the South Saskatchewan River Basin
Review of the Implementation of the Approved Water Management Plan for the South Saskatchewan River Basin APPENDICES: Appendix A – Project Scoping Document Appendix B – Parking Lot Appendix C – 10-Year Review Data Analysis Package Appendix D – Notable Initiatives Appendix E – BAC Summaries Appendix F – BAC Members Appendix A – Project Scoping Document SSRB WMP 10 Year Review Project SSRB WMP 10 Year Review Draft Outline v6 8 May 2017 Purpose It has been 10 years since the approval of the South Saskatchewan River Basin Water Management Plan (WMP, Plan). As with all plans, it is prudent that its effectiveness be periodically reviewed. The purpose of this Review is to assess the implementation of the Plan in the Bow River Basin since its inception in 2006 using available data and information. Assess progress against WMP recommendations and intended outcomes based on best available data, including baseline comparison (prior to the implementation of the Plan). Identify information gaps and opportunities. Summarize what the Plan has accomplished since it was implemented in achieving its anticipated outcomes, and what further can be done. This is not a required or approvals related review. This is a WPAC conducted review foreseen, in fact called for, in the original Plan. This is a transparent effort that is within the WPAC responsibilities intended to inform and improve water management in the basin. The Review does not intend to recommend opening up the SSRB WMP nor the Water Act to revision. Rather, it intends to identify where further attention or effort is required to achieve the intended outcomes of the Plan, within the current regulatory framework.

Monitoring for Invasive Mussels in Alberta’S Irrigation Infrastructure: 2017 Report
Monitoring for Invasive Mussels in Alberta’s Irrigation Infrastructure: 2017 Report Alberta Agriculture and Forestry Water Quality Section Outlet of Sauder Reservoir January 2018 Introduction and Summary The Government of Alberta (GOA) is committed to protecting the province against aquatic invasive species (AIS), due to their negative ecological and economic effects. Invasive zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis) are of prominent concern, as these dreissenid mussels attach to any solid submerged surface and rapidly multiply due to their high reproductive rates. They are also very difficult to contain and eradicate once established. Additionally, they are spreading closer to Alberta’s borders. Alberta’s irrigation industry contributes $3.6 billion to the provincial gross domestic product (GDP). Specifically, it contributes about 20% of the provincial agri-food sector GDP on 4.7% of the province’s cultivated land base (Paterson Earth & Water Consulting 2015). Alberta’s irrigation industry includes thirteen irrigation districts that supply water to more than 570,000 ha of farmland through infrastructure valued at $3.6 billion. This infrastructure includes 57 irrigation reservoirs along with 3,491 km of canals and 4,102 km of pipelines (ARD 2014; AF 2017). The irrigation conveyance system provides water to irrigators, municipalities, industries, and wetlands, while the reservoirs support recreational activities such as boating and fishing and provide habitat to fish and waterfowl. Invasive mussels are a concern to the irrigation industry as infestations will have a significant negative effect on water infrastructure and conveyance works due to their ability to completely clog pipelines and damage raw-water treatment systems and intakes.
