Abstract
The prospect of interbasin transfer raises many concerns for the environmental planner. This paper emphasizes advantages of river basin planning which advances the knowledge of the basin ahead of project assessment and assesses the value of environmental resources to basin communities. The limitations of environmental overviews are discussed with reference to the Red Deer and Oldman River flow regulation studies. The difficulties of integrating diverse agencies and disciplines are examined. Proposals are advanced to allow for both early program review by agencies at the regional level and for the integration of program objectives at higher decision-making levels. The coordinated approach to advance river basin planning is intended to provide sufficient knowledge of the environmental resources of a basin to allow a more effective assessment of interbasin transfer projects.
