Councillor Patterson was upset that Claresholm has not been included in the open house to dis- cuss the project or that our library is not on the list to go and view documents. Below is the December Lit- tle Bow Newsletter: PHASE STUDIES COMPLETE Phase of the Little Bow River Study, initiated in 1982, is com- plete, with results and conclusions passed on to Alberta Envi- ronment senior management for review and evaluation. With increasing water demands, shortages, poor water quality and licensing problems among the many water concerns in the Little Bow River Basin, Alberta Environment began the study to clarity the water supply and demand situation in the basin and find solutions to the area's water management problems. To help understand the present situation and establish a water Management strategy, the study is divided into two phases. Phase , or the inventory stage, provides an overview of the existing situation. As an overview, this phase identifies and documents current water use. patterns and operational procedures of diversion works in the basin. Phase also provides an inventory and assessment of local water supply. demand and quality. Reports in this phase provide estimates of future water demands and recommend strategies to meet current needs. While originally targeted for completion in the spring of 1984, the final Phase report was delayed in order to assess the water demands brought about by the extreme weather conditions of 1984. This allowed the planning team to get more accurate information and a better understanding of basin water demands during drought conditions. With this information, the various operational strategies can be more accurately evaluated and refined to better meet the basin s short and long term water needs, The final Phase reports have been completed on the basis of 27 supporting reports along with considerable public irfput, Dealing with all aspects of the basin and its water resource, the support- ing reports are divided into the following categories: Background Reports - Water Supply, Existing River Regime and Limitations, Problem Identification. Inventory Reports - Land Classification, Environmental, Water Quality, Water Use, Computer Modelling of the Basin. * Clear Lake - Concepts, Groundwater, Engineering and Feasibility, Economic and Financial Analysis, The Phase Final Reports are: Little Bow River Phase Sum- mary Report Inventory, Little Bow River Basin Phase Planning Study and 1984 addendum. The Phase Reports, along with their conclusions, provide basin planners with the information needed to determine a water man- agement strategy or the basin and to help narrow down the list of potential storage sites. A number of the report s many conclusions reter to Water Use Of approximately 16,080 acres of licensed irrigable land in the Little Bow River Basin, a total of 12,687 acres were irrigated.in 1984 with a water allocation of about 20,000 acre feet. Peak irrigation use was about 120 cfs. An estimated minimum flow of about 15 cfs is required to meet domestic, municipal and stockwatering needs as well as channel losses along the Little Bow River and Mosquito Creek. Water Supply The main source of water for irrigation in the basin is provided by two diversions on the Highwood River. Under current opera- tional guidelines, water supplies would be adequate to meet peak irrigation demands in most years. Because of the occa- sional low flow years, however, the moratorium on additional irrigation licenses must remain in effect until a supplemental water supply is secured. Operation of Diversion Works More flexibility and reliability in operating the system can be obtained by various methods including: stabilizing the Highwood River channel near the Little Bow diversion canal, constructing instream check structures in the lower reaches of the Little Bow River, water storage in the basin and improved communication between water users and diversion operators. Water Quality There are no industrial discharges into Mosquito Creek or the Little Bow River. Surface run-off, affected by field nutrients and livestock operations, is considered the main influence on water quality inthe basin. There are currently no limitations on water use for irrigation or livestock. With normal treatment, there are no restrictions on domestic or municipal use Water Management Options Several options, individually or combined, would reduce the risk of shortage to existing users and provide water for additional irrigators storage development on the Highwood River modified diversion guidelines. enlarged diversion facilities storage development in the Little Bow Basin. Implementing any of the first three options would alter the High- wood's flows and must take into account any policy decisions to be made on water Use and management in the South Saskatchewan River Basin, Storage development in the Little Bow Basin could provide enough water to meet existing needs, permit a considerable increase in irngated acreage, provide greater operational flexibility and reliability without noticeably modifying the diversions from the Highwood River. Storage development in the Little Bow Basin could also improve the Highwood's tlows during the late summer when the fishery resource is subject to naturally occurring low tlow conditions. Phase reports provide results and recommendations in more detail than can be offered in a newsletter. Once released, supporting documents will be made available to the public at libraries in: Carmangay, High River, Nanton, Stavely and Vulcan. The reports will also be available at'the Little Bow River Basin Study open houses. PHASE I UNDERWAY Phase II studies, which look at water management alternatives for the basin in more detail, are now in progress. Results of investigations in this phase will help to develop a water manage- ment plan for the basin. As-part of Phase studies, preliminary storage investigations are underway at four sites in the basin: Little Bow River near Frank Lake; Little Bow River below its confluence with Mosquito Creek; Squaw Coulee upstream of the junction with Mosquito Creek; Mosquito Creek downstream of the confluence with Squaw Coulee. Other sites were initially looked at as well, but, due to technical considerations, were viewed as unfeasible and dropped from further study. In selecting the most effective storage development for the basin, planners take into account several factors including: Operational guidelines for diversions from the Highw River. 4 Existing and modified diversion channel capacities. The environmental, social and economic impacts of devel- opment at the various sites. The first priority in selecting a site is to provide for current water users and to lift restrictive conditions on existing irrigation licenses. Along with this, storage development in the basin will be designed to allow for expansion of irrigation development Until a water management strategy is implemented, conditions on existing licenses and the moratorium on new irrigation licenses will remain in effect. Irrigation expansion in the Clear Lake area can not be considered until additional water supplies are developed and existing licensed needs can be met Among the Phase I studies taking place are: The cost and feasibility of stabilizing the Highwood River bed at the Little Bow Diversion: The cost and feasibility of instream check structures just upstream of the Travers Reservorr. The cost and feasibility of measures to prevent overbank flooding and erosion along Squaw Coulee at a 60 cfs flow Phase II technical studies are expected to be complete by spring of 1986. ADVISORY COMMITTEE CONTINUES ROLE The Advisory Committee will continue to be an important element of the study throughout Phase II, Committee members will periodically meet with the basin planning team to review progress of Phase activities, provide public input and supply basin residents and interest groups with information. In this way, those affected by basin water management decisions can help develop the water management strategies.

OPEN HOUSES Little Bow River Basin Study Open Houses are planned for Nanton, High River, Vulcan and Stavely, Alberta Environment staff and Advisory Committee members will be on hand to discuss Phase conclusions, recommenda- tions and Phase studies in detail as well as to answer your questions on water management and water management strategies for the basin N : Watch the Local Press for dates and location.
