Book Description
Demonstration of the application of the Water Use Analysis model (WUAM) on the Saskatchewan portion of the South Saskatchewan River basin focusing on data requirements and preparation, scenario development, and model runs, and on the analysis of the results. The study investigated the water resources impacts of four alternative development scenarios. The scenarios, all assumed to correspond to the year 2000, covered two levels of future water use in Alberta and two levels of irrigation development in Saskatchewan. Only the irrigated area in Saskatchewan was varied; all other irrigation parameters were assumed to remain constant. The system was also simulated under the extreme condition of Alberta's using 50% of the monthly natural streamflow. Irrigation water uses by irrigation area, node, and basin total and consumptive uses from Lake Diefenbaker for irrigation, evaporation, and diversion were analyzed for the various scenarios and their frequencies of occurrence were presented.

Book Description
One of four discussion papers in support of a policy report, this paper addresses the question of how the demand for water can be better managed to ensure the conservation and protection of Canada's water. The paper deals with the questions of pricing water at a level which reflects its true worth; expanding the mandates of water agencies to include managing demand; and encouraging more efficient use of water. The paper reviews water-efficient appliances, fixtures, industrial equipment, and agricultural practices; the tools available to governments for managing water demand, including pricing policies, education and information programs, licensing agreements, and minimum standards; and a preliminary water demand management strategy.
