Dianne Wyntjes outlines the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance's process for watershed planning. The RDRWA has taken a different tack on some of the usual processes in developing a watershed plan. In particular, their use of Technical Teams and technical team members and meetings have helped the RDRWA tackle some technically challenging water issues and communicate good science to their stakeholders.
Dianne Wyntjes is a member of the board of the Red Deer River Watershed Alliance and a councillor with the City of Red Deer.
From March 12-14th, 2013, people involved in water issues in Alberta met in Red Deer to discuss ideas and plans for managing water resources. The conference, jointly hosted by the Canadian Water Resources Association (CWRA) Alberta Chapter and Alberta Watershed Planning & Advisory Councils (WPACs), emphasized the integrated planning that is necessary for water management in the future.
The Alberta Land-use Knowledge Network was able to record many of the keynote speakers and conference presentations.
