The Alberta government is issuing a request for proposal to help conduct modelling throughout the winter and to work with municipalities, water users, industry and others to explore ways to maximize the province’s water supply, if needed.
Along with the request, government officials are meeting with municipalities, water users, farmers, industry and others to share information and look at ways to conserve water where possible in the coming months.
Alberta has dealt with drought conditions in two of the past three years, and 2023 was a particularly dry year. The province is currently at stage four (of five) in its water shortage management plan.
