Scope

Organization: Agriculture and Irrigation Description: In the Oldman River Basin, a large volume of water is allocated for use (primarily irrigation) and a substantial portion of natural stream flow is diverted from river channels from mid-spring to early fall. While natural flows are most suitable for maintaining river ecosystems, natural flows have not occurred for decades and cannot be provided within the constraints of water allocation in Alberta. The science of instream flow needs (IFN) shows that strategic management of altered river flows can support natural processes and maintain ecological integrity and environmental services. IFN-based flows are integrated into water management practice in some, but not all, stream sections in the Oldman River Basin. Agriculture and Irrigation, Water Infrastructure and Operations Branch (AGI-WIOB) operators have worked with AGI-WIOB biologists to deliver enhanced environmental flows in years with suitable conditions, but the process is not formalized and is incompletely captured in operating plans and strategies. The objective of the project is to develop environmental operating procedures in a format that can be easily used to support water management operations. Integration of environmental operating procedures in water management decision-making is intended to achieve broader outcomes without compromising primary water management objectives. Implementation may be supported by the development of tools to aid real-time water management decision-making. The proposed project will be organized in steps, and delivery is scheduled to occur over three years. Steps include (but are not limited to) development of process, identification and quantification of ecosystem services, development of environmental, hydrological, and operational models, and development and testing of the environmental decision-making support system. Background: Water is managed in Alberta to support a variety of uses, including drinking water, agric
