Tracking the Council’s Progress

The Council tracks the implementation progress of its past work annually with partners. An update is provided to its members at the first board meeting of each year.

Tracking the Implementation of the Council’s Recommendations

The Alberta Water Council has been tracking the implementation status of its recommendations since 2012.

The tracking system is updated annually in March and involves updating two documents: a Detailed Report and an Update Report. Both reports are available below. In 2018, the AWC synthesized updates received recommendations from AWC projects completed between 2008 and 2017. The chart on the right shows the overall distribution of implementation status. For more information on how each status is defined, please refer to the recommendations tracking key

Update Reports

The Update Report is meant to provide a general overview of implementation progress. The first Update Report is somewhat different from subsequent reports as it acts as a baseline.

Detailed Reports

The Detailed Report, broken down by project, outlines all recommendations that require action, their status (provided by the identified implementer) and challenges to implementation.

The information in the status section can be presented in one of three ways:

  1. providing line by line status of each recommendation,
  2. by grouping recommendations by category or theme within a project and providing a status of the group, or
  3. by providing a general status for all recommendations in one project.

This document is in a table format and fully updated annually. The links below provide access to each project’s recommendations and their implementation status. This page will be updated as the remaining pieces are completed. Please note that the files are set to print on 11’ x 17’ paper.
