This three-part document provides a template to guide cumulative watershed effects assessments (CWEA) within Alberta's Eastern Slopes.

Using the caribou cumulative effects model, an existing decision support tool, we evaluate 6 alternative development scenarios, from no leasing to full leasing with standard mitigation conditions
