What can you do? Express your concerns to your MLA regarding the over-allocation of #water in the South Saskatchewan #River Basin. Minimum river flows are required for #aquatic #Health for sustaining #cottonwood #forests, for #recreation, for #tourism, and to dilute pollutants introduced into river #systems from stormwater and #wastewater treatment discharges.

How a strange fruit fly became a bloodthirsty underwater hunter
