Domestic water boards
Prairie Provinces Water Board
In 1969, the governments of Canada, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba signed the Master Agreement on Apportionment (MAA) to ensure fair sharing and protection of rivers and streams that flow east between provinces. The Agreement also fosters the cooperation of the parties in interprovincial water management.
Mackenzie River Basin Board
In July 1997, the governments of Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Yukon signed the Mackenzie River Basin Transboundary Waters Master Agreement. The Master Agreement supports managing water resources to protect the health of the aquatic ecosystem for future generations. It provides for early and effective consultation on potential developments and activities in the basin that could affect the integrity of the aquatic ecosystem and contains provisions for the development of bilateral agreements between adjacent jurisdictions in the basin.
