Saskatchewan River

A major river in western Canada, formed by the North and South Saskatchewan rivers. It flows east across Saskatchewan and Manitoba into Lake Winnipeg.

North Saskatchewan River: A major river in Alberta and Saskatchewan that joins the South Saskatchewan River near Prince Albert. It supplies the northern branch of the river’s headwaters.
Rocky Mountains: A mountain range extending through western North America, including western Alberta and British Columbia. Snow and rainfall in this range supply much of the headwaters.
Saskatchewan River hydroelectricity: Electricity generated by hydroelectric facilities on the Saskatchewan River system. Dams on the river and its branches convert regulated flow into power.
Saskatchewan River flood: A high-water event in the Saskatchewan River system that inundates nearby land and communities. Seasonal runoff and extreme precipitation can create damaging floods along the river.
South Saskatchewan River: A major river formed by the Bow and Oldman rivers, flowing through Alberta and Saskatchewan. Its meeting with the North Saskatchewan forms the main river.
Bow River: A river in Alberta that rises in the Canadian Rockies and joins the Oldman River to form the South Saskatchewan River. It contributes mountain runoff to the southern headwater branch.
Lake Diefenbaker: A reservoir in Saskatchewan formed by Gardiner Dam on the South Saskatchewan River. It stores water used for irrigation, municipal supply, and hydropower.
Saskatchewan River water quality: The chemical, physical, and biological condition of water in the Saskatchewan River system. Agriculture, cities, and industrial activity influence the river’s condition downstream.
Saskatchewan River Delta: A large wetland complex where the Saskatchewan River enters Cedar Lake and Lake Winnipeg. The river’s waters spread through wetlands near its eastern outlet.
Oldman River: A river in southern Alberta that joins the Bow River to form the South Saskatchewan River. Its flow combines with the Bow before reaching the main river.
