Saskatchewan has two major river basins: the Saskatchewan River Basin and the Qu’Appelle River Basin. The province relies on bodies of water, especially for irrigation in the southern prairie regions (agriculture), providing drinking water and water services to cities and rural communities (municipal), as well as supporting oil and gas operations and food processing plants (industrial).
Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency (WSA) regulates water use, flood control, wastewater systems, and manages dams. Meanwhile, SaskWater (a provincial Crown corporation) supplies systems that deliver water to municipalities and owns and operates treatment plants and pipelines.
Several Saskatchewan water treatment providers we are covering in this article also include experts on boiler water treatments, equipment control, corrosion treatment, and other programs that can increase system efficiency and decrease water and maintenance costs.
