Description
Alberta Environment and Parks’ (AEP) WRRP aims to improve natural watershed functions in order to build greater long-term resiliency to droughts and floods through: Conservation; Education and stewardship; Research and data; and Restoration and Enhancement.- The primary objective of the program is to increase the natural ability of the province’s watersheds to reduce the intensity, magnitude, duration and effects of flooding and drought through watershed mitigation measures.
- Additionally, the program aims to address impacts of past flooding and/or droughts through the restoration of degraded priority areas of watersheds which will enhance communities’ ability to withstand future flooding or droughts.
- Finally, the program seeks to promote the ongoing stewardship and preservation of key components of Alberta’s watersheds.
