Projects
On-the-ground work across the watershed.
SEAWA leads and supports projects in research, restoration, monitoring, and education throughout the South Saskatchewan River sub-basin. This page will highlight current and past projects, partners, and outcomes as we continue to build it out.
Flagship Reporting
State of the Watershed Reports
SEAWA’s State of the Watershed (SOW) reports provide a science-based assessment of watershed conditions in the South Saskatchewan River Sub-Basin. These reports summarize trends in water quality, hydrology, land use, habitat condition, and emerging watershed pressures. They guide planning, stewardship priorities, and local decision-making.

Partnership Program
The Blue Prairie Initiative
An umbrella program supporting rural watershed health through wetlands and riparian stewardship, healthy working prairie landscapes, and on-the-ground demonstration sites. Funded by multiple grants and partners, Blue Prairie works directly with landowners and producers to care for the “blue” lungs of the prairie.
