Annual and Seasonal Flow Trends
To allow for the most detailed analysis possible, the trend analysis was based on a 30-year time period (1971-2000). In order to confirm if the 1971-2000 period results in different […]
Alberta’s Water Yield
Water Yield can be calculated by dividing the mean annual volume of streamflow that is produced in a nested watershed (expressed in cubic meters per year), by the area of […]
Bow River Project
Introduction In 2010, the Bow River Project Research Consortium was established to explore options for re-managing the river system from headwaters to confluence- the Bow River Project (BRP). Participants worked […]
Dynamics of Alberta’s Water Supply
While the Alberta economy is fuelled by petroleum, it runs on water. The Alberta Water Research Institute, now known as the Water Resources Strategic Area for Alberta Innovates – Energy and […]
Impacts of Long-term Climate Cycles on Alberta
The Alberta Water Research Institute commissioned Suzan Lapp and Stefan Kienzle of the University of Lethbridge to provide an improved understanding and appreciation of the impacts of large scale and […]
Water Yield and Streamflow Trend Analysis for Alberta’s Watersheds
Alberta is a province with a very diverse climate. The consequence is that some watersheds capture large amounts of water for downstream users, while other watersheds capture almost no water. Agriculture, […]
External Projects
The following are just some of the notable projects and research to do with water in Alberta. Athabasca River Basin Initiative The Sustainable Water Management in the Athabasca River Basin […]
