Answer 2

A water conservation objective (WCO) is an instrument used under Alberta’s Water Act. It defines the quantity and quality of water to remain in a river or other body of water for:

● The protection of a natural water body or its aquatic environment, or any part of them;

●The protection of tourism, recreational, transportation or waste assimilation uses of water; or ●The management of fish or wildlife.

WCOs can be implemented in a number of ways:

•By specifying requirements to release water from a reservoir;

•By specifying when a water allocation licence holder can divert water from the river;

•By guiding Alberta Environment officials who must make decisions on applications for water allocation licences or transfers of allocations; •By guiding the Minister of Environment in making a decision on a Crown Reservation of water.
