Securing Water for People and Rivers

Water Matters Society of Alberta

For the first time in 12 years, the Alberta government is considering changes to the way it allocates water – arguably the province’s most precious natural resource. The allocation system determines who gets water, when, and how much is available to government, to business, and to ordinary Alberta citizens. “Securing Water for People and Rivers” is an education, awareness, and outreach program that will improve the “water literacy” of Albertans, encourage their participation in upcoming public consultations, and advance common sense proposals to conserve healthy water flows and meet basic human water needs.
