Gary M, a retired local science teacher has this to say about SEAWA "I grew up in South East Alberta playing in the creeks, rivers and lakes and took students on field trips to the same areas for over 35 years ... SEAWA is important!"
Water Words 

Water Allocation

 

An allocation is the maximum amount of water that has been granted for use by a particular sector. Allocations do not reflect actual use or consumption of water because the entire allocation is not always needed and many water users return some of their diverted water back to the environment following use.

 

There must be enough natural supply available in order to take an allocated amount. In years where supply is less than normal, the water taken under a particular allocation can vary based on other allocations and licensed demands in the basin, as well as instream flow requirements and agreements with other provinces and states.
