The supplemental water supply investigation aimed to determine the feasibility of augmenting summer flows in the Milk River with water drawn from the Milk River Ridge Reservoir located on the Waterton-St. Mary Headworks system (Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd. 2008).
The Milk River Watershed Council Canada (MRWCC) commissioned a Study of Sedimentation and Erosion on the Milk River to better understand streambank erosion occurring each year.
