Elbow River Water Management Plan Gets Underway
The Elbow River Watershed Partnership (ERWP) has embarked on a planning initiative to develop recommendations to protect the integrity of the Elbow River. The initial step, the drafting of the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Elbow River Water Management Plan (ERWMP), has now been completed. Recommendations in the plan will address water quality objectives in areas such as point and non-point source pollution, discharges into the river/released in the watershed, stormwater quality/quantity, impacts that may arise from oil/gas and forestry industries, off-stream storage, and riparian management.
See www.erwp.org/ for more information.
