but the river is in trouble ,like all water in Southern Alberta.
The next generation will ,sadly , be paying for all water.
If I had a billion dollars I would make the water as pure flowing into Sask. as it is coming out of our taps in AB.
I have pushed this for twenty or more years and finally people are being aware.
When Perrier first appeared on our shelves was too late.
Now there is so much work to be done. It is truly sad.
I don't fish ,but fishing is easy along the bow. But where does it become a concern? I am not optimistic ,sadly.
Bet on water. The most valuable resource bar none.

Good post. There is a company based in Montreal that has developed a technique of purifying water from oil and gas wells instead of wasting it or sending it back downhole. Future generations will have to look at things like this for their water sources. There's still lots of it, just takes a little more to get to it. In the oil feilds, you cant just poke a hole in the ground and put a well in nor can you run a hose to a river and pump water out.
Anything new on the removal of the weir by Memorial/Deerfoot?
