The Government of Alberta wants to understand your views on the water management system in Alberta.
You can complete either of 2 online surveys to share your thoughts on increasing water availability.
Detailed survey
We suggest that those with prior knowledge of Alberta’s water management system complete the detailed survey.
This is the detailed survey.
Brief survey
A brief, more general survey is also available to share your thoughts on increasing water availability.
The Government of Alberta wants to hear from Albertans on opportunities or barriers that can be addressed to enhance the water management system in Alberta and increase water availability for sustainable growth for all water using sectors. We want to hear from Albertans on how Alberta can best:- increase water conservation, efficiency, and productivity;
- free up and optimize use of available water;
- better capture and improve access to existing water sources; and
- improve water management and make faster approval decisions.
Your input may help inform government programs, policy or tools to increase water availability and improve the water management system in Alberta.
The survey is separated into nine sections: one introductory section, seven topic-based sections, and one conclusion. Each section is expected to take 5-10 minutes.
Topics include:
- water measurement and reporting
- water conservation, efficiency and productivity
- water allocation and transfers
- use of rainwater
- alternative water sources and wastewater reuse
- inter-basin water transfers
- exemptions from water authorizations
The survey will take 45-90 minutes to complete and closes January 10, 2025.
