About

The South East Alberta Watershed Alliance (SEAWA) is one of the eleven Watershed Planning and Advisory Councils (WPACs) in Alberta. SEAWA is a multi-stakeholder, volunteer-based, not-for-profit society, incorporated in 2008 and designated as a WPAC by the Government of Alberta in 2010.

The Government of Alberta, through Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) partners with WPACs to help achieve the three goals of the provincial policy, Water for Life – Alberta’s Strategy for Sustainability. The three goals are: (1) Healthy aquatic ecosystems; (2) Reliable, quality water supplies for a sustainable economy; and (3) Safe, secure drinking water. As a WPAC, SEAWA is expected to do collaborative work with watershed stakeholders in the following program areas: (1) Watershed evaluation and reporting; (2) Watershed management planning; (3) Education and outreach; and (4) Environmental stewardship.

In addition, SEAWA’s work is expected to align with the recommendations of the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP).

The SEAWA watershed includes the South Saskatchewan River Sub-Basin within Alberta, and the closed-drainage system Pakowki Lake watershed (Seawa Watershed Map).

Mission
 The South East Alberta Watershed Alliance (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.
