The Battle
River Watershed The Battle River Watershed covers much of central Alberta (see map). The Battle River itself is a modest prairie-fed (as opposed to glacier-fed) river. There is increasing pressure on the Battle River’s water supply. As demand for water meets or exceeds the river’s natural supply, social, ecological and economic limitations and issues begin to arise. What is the Battle River Watershed Why is the Battle River important How do we affect the Battle River?
The Battle River Watershed Management Planning Process Water management planning can help resolve water supply and demand issues. Alberta Environment has recently started working with local stakeholders to develop recommendations for managing water in the Battle River watershed. These recommendations will be used to help develop a Water Management Plan for the Battle River. Battle River Watershed Stakeholder Advisory Group
