The main goal or function of the North Saskatchewan Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP) is to provide a framework for protecting, maintaining and restoring a healthy, natural watershed system where economic and social needs are in balance with the ecological needs of the watershed. This includes the protection of the aquatic environment and its associated necessary flow needs.

The management plan will address surface water, groundwater and existing and proposed land use, social, cultural and economic issues. Land use issues affecting water will be identified and sub-basin recommendations made.

The plan will be prepared in consultation with NSWA members and stakeholders and will ensure that stakeholders are provided the opportunity to form and participate in the planning process through Regional Advisory Committees. The plan will incorporate existing regional strategies and related plans.
