Alberta’s auditor finds province’s surface water management ineffective
Alberta’s auditor general says the province’s system for managing surface water is ineffective and not set up to deal with changing conditions.
Doug Wylie says in a report that Alberta Environment and Protected Areas has no water conservation objectives in most of its basins.
The report says the government doesn’t know if existing water conservation objectives are working.
It says processes to monitor water use, assess risks and decide when conservation is needed aren’t very strong.
