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.

There still is much uncertainty about the timing, the rate and the magnitude of climate change in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin (GLSLB); yet concern for potential impacts remains. The GLSLB contains 20 percent of the world's fresh water and is home to over 42.5 million people. It is a region rich in human and natural resources, with diverse economic activities and complex infrastructures. Significant economic restructuring and environmental changes are underway. Governments, industries and other Basin interests will have the added complication of managing the multiple activities within the Basin under the exacerbating conditions of potential climate change. This challenge must be addressed: first through research, and then by applying the research to all levels of management within the Basin.
