SEAWA’s Vision
A healthy watershed that provides balance between social, environmental, and economic benefits
South East Alberta Watershed Alliance
We work with partners across southeast Alberta to share information about rivers, wetlands, prairie lakes and reservoirs. We design and carry out applied research, help answer local water questions, support stewardship activities, and contribute our findings to broader planning work.

Acknowledgement
SEAWA recognizes that our work occurs within the territories of Treaty 4 and Treaty 7, with staff also joining from Treaty 6, and on the homeland of the Métis. We acknowledge the long history of Indigenous Nations whose knowledge systems, stewardship practices, and relationships with these lands continue to guide responsible care of water and ecosystems. This history shapes how we approach watershed planning, informed by Indigenous science and the responsibility to maintain these landscapes for future generations. We honour these communities by committing to respectful collaboration and ongoing learning in our stewardship and watershed work.
A healthy watershed that provides balance between social, environmental, and economic benefits
SEAWA brings together diverse partners to educate the public, to support knowledge development, and to develop and facilitate the implementation of management plans for the sustainable use of the South Saskatchewan River Sub-Basin and the Pakowki Lake watershed.
