Elbow River State of the Watershed Report
Wednesday, March 24, 2021 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Online using Zoom Video Conferencing Technology
Presented by Flora Giesbrecht, Elbow River Watershed Partnership
The Elbow River Watershed is an area of land drained by the Elbow River as it goes through many different landscapes ranging from sup-alpine mountains to foothills and parklands. The Elbow River has been a source of clean water for many residents of Calgary and the surrounding communities and nations for over 120 years. Due to increased recreational and industrial activities as well as urban development, there is a higher demand for that water from the watershed, which causes some concerns.
The Elbow River Watershed Partnership, along with a dedicated committee of stakeholders and scientists, including the Bow Basin Watershed Management Plan Technical Committee, released the first Elbow River Basin Water Management Plan in January 2009 (ERWP, 2009). In 2016, the ERWP Board of Directors initiated a process to review and update the Plan. Assessing the current state of the watershed is the first step in the development of an updated watershed management plan to support the advancement and implementation of stewardship actions. Starting in 2018, the Elbow River Watershed Partnership initiated the SOW project.
