This report to Alberta Environment attempts to determine whether there is a linkage between these activities and water quality in these three rivers and documents baseline water quality prior to the implementation of an access management plan by the Alberta Government. Water quality monitoring of these rivers was conducted by Alberta Environment during 2004 and 2005. Continuous measurements of turbidity (as a surrogate for total suspended solids), pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and temperature were taken in Waiparous Creek, upstream at the Black Rock Trail and downstream at the Department of National Defense base from early May to late July, 2004.

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
    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.

  • Bow River Recreational Access Ghost Dam to Bearspaw Reservoirs. Introduction
    Calgary River Users’ Alliance Bow River Recreational Access Ghost Dam to Bearspaw Reservoirs. Introduction Outdoor recreational pursuits have increased in popularity in recent years with access to suitable venues close to the urban populations being one of the most important needs. Calgary and surrounding communities have access to a wide variety of outdoor pursuits with the Bow River and its tributaries offering a venue for paddle sports such as canoeing and kayak as well as fishing. But river recreational access is not without restraints. problems. Access to public waterways is often across privately owned land or under restricted access agreements within city and provincial property. In 2016 the City of Calgary addressed their concerns with the development of the Calgary River Access Strategy (RAS) (1) whereby a total of 12 designated river access sites were considered for improvements or new river access developments. To date two major projects have been completed, an upgrade to West Baker Park in the northwest quadrant of Calgary and a new boat ramp at Ogden Bridge. The Government of Alberta followed suit with the Bow River Access Plan (BRAP) (2) that addressed river access improvements between Fish Creek Provincial Park in Calgary and Johnson Island Provincial Park property at Carseland. Within the scope of the BRAP major improvements have been made to Policeman’s Flats in 2018 and a new road to McKinnon Flats in 2020. Also, the Harvie Passage Whitewater Park was developed in Calgary and other river recreational facilities are planned. Upstream of Calgary, the 50 Km reach of the Bow River between Ghost Reservoir and Bearspaw Reservoir has the potential to alleviate the ever-increasing river recreational use on the lower Bow River.
