  • The Environment
    background The Environment Cities across Canada and internationally are developing greener ways of building and powering communities, housing and infrastructure. They are also growing their urban forests, protecting wetlands and improving the quality of water bodies. The history of Saskatoon is tied to the landscape through agriculture and natural resources. The South Saskatchewan River that flows through the city is a cherished space for both its natural functions and public open space. Saskatonians value their environment. However, the ecological footprint of Saskatoon is relatively large. Our choices of where we live, how we travel around the city and the way that we use energy at home all have an impact on the health of the environment. The vision for Saskatoon needs to consider many aspects of the natural environment, from energy and air quality to water and trees. Our ecological footprint Energy sources Cities consume significant quantities of resources and Over half of Saskatoon’s ecological footprint is due to have a major impact on the environment, well beyond their energy use. As Saskatoon is located in a northern climate, borders. One way of describing the impact of a city is to there is a need for heating in the winter. As well, most measure its ecological footprint. The footprint represents Saskatoon homes are heated by natural gas. Although the land area necessary to sustain current levels of natural gas burns cleaner than coal and oil it produces resource consumption and waste discharged by that CO2, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, making it an population. A community consumes material, water, and unsustainable energy source and the supply of natural gas energy, processes them into usable forms, and generates is limited.

  • Assessment of the Status of the Sport Fishery for Walleye at Pigeon Lake, 1999. B. Patterson Conducted As Part of the Alberta
    Assessment of the Status of the Sport Fishery for Walleye at Pigeon Lake, 1999. B. Patterson Conducted as part of the Alberta Conservation Associations Sportfisheries Monitoring Program, NE Region April, 2000 ABSTRACT To recover or maintain Alberta's walleye fisheries, a new walleye management strategy was implemented in 1996. In 1996, the walleye fishery at Pigeon Lake was classified as a collapsed/stocked walleye fishery and a zero (0) daily bag limit was implemented. In order to assess the status of the walleye fishery, a creel survey was conducted during May to August 1999. During the 1999 survey, the number of anglers was estimated at 3,420. The total angling effort was low at 1.1 hours / ha. The sport fishery reported releasing 602 walleye (0.30 walleye released / hour). Two walleye were illegally harvested. Historical information indicates that the walleye population in Pigeon Lake was marginal. The walleye fishery was extirpated in the 1960s. Stocking efforts between 1979 and 1984 failed to re-establish the walleye fishery. More than 18.4 million walleye fry and fingerlings were stocked between 1994 and 1999. This effort seems to have produced a marginal population. Based on the criteria used to classify walleye stocks in Alberta, the status of the walleye population in Pigeon Lake remains collapsed. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The creel survey attendants at Pigeon Lake, Mark Feldberg, Les Harris, Layla Neufeld and John Tchir, deserve full credit for the success of this study. Their dedication to the collection of creel and test fishery data is commendable. The hospitality of Doug Pilkington and the staff of Pigeon Lake Provincial Park is greatly appreciated.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.

    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.

  • South Saskatchewan River Legal and Inter-Jurisdictional Institutional Water Map
    South Saskatchewan River Legal and Inter-jurisdictional Institutional Water Map. Derived by L. Patiño and D. Gauthier, mainly from Hurlbert, Margot. 2006. Water Law in the South Saskatchewan River Basin. IACC Project working paper No. 27. March, 2007. May, 2007. Brief Explanation of the South Saskatchewan River Basin Legal and Inter- jurisdictional Institutional Water Map Charts. This document provides a brief explanation of the legal and inter-jurisdictional water institutional map charts in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB). This work has been derived from Hurlbert, Margot. 2006. Water Law in the South Saskatchewan River Basin. IACC Project working paper No. 27. The main purpose of the charts is to provide a visual representation of the relevant water legal and inter-jurisdictional institutions involved in the management, decision-making process and monitoring/enforcement of water resources (quality and quantity) in Saskatchewan and Alberta, at the federal, inter-jurisdictional, provincial and local levels. The charts do not intend to provide an extensive representation of all water legal and/or inter-jurisdictional institutions, nor a comprehensive list of roles and responsibilities. Rather to serve as visual tools that allow the observer to obtain a relatively prompt working understanding of the current water legal and inter-jurisdictional institutional structure existing in each province. Following are the main components of the charts: 1. The charts provide information regarding water quantity and water quality. To facilitate a prompt reading between water quality and water quantity the charts have been colour coded. Water quantity has been depicted in red (i.e., text, boxes, link lines and arrows), and contains only one subdivision, water allocation.

  • 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.
