CALGARY, ALTA. – Wolseley Canada is investing $10,000 in Living Lake Canada’s Oldman Watershed Groundwater Program.
“Groundwater plays a vital role in supplying drinking water to Canadians while also supporting agricultural production,” explains a release. “As changing climates create water scarcity, there is a critical need to understand this freshwater source.”
This pilot project it meant to serve as a template to develop a provincial framework for monitoring priority groundwater aquifers in the Oldman Watershed in southwestern Alberta.
With this $10,000 donation Wolseley is investing in innovative research which plays an important role in understanding groundwater knowledge in Alberta and it will also help shape management planning.
