The Oldman Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP) is a collaborative effort of the entire watershed community. It is informed by scientific research and achieved through stakeholder-led, action-oriented goals. The IWMP includes 8 goals based on the State of the Watershed Report, surveys, interviews, online questionnaires, and watershed risk assessments that were undertaken in an extensive stakeholder consultation process. Simply put, the IWMP is based on you, and your vision for the future of our watershed.
Headwaters Action Plan
The headwaters of the Oldman River watershed run east from the Rocky Mountains of southwest Alberta to join the South Saskatchewan River and eventually, Hudson Bay. They provide 90% of the water that feeds our streams, lakes, and groundwater! The Headwaters Action Plan is the community’s plan to maintain and protect the integrity of the Oldman headwaters and source waters through collaborative stewardship work that will address key issues to headwater health over time.
