Restoring the flow:​

The second project, North Shore Blockage and Drainage, is a study to determine if and to what extent, natural water flows into the north of Gull Lake have become impeded or blocked. The results of the study will determine if steps shold be taken to repair damage to water flows, re-diverting streams into their original stream beds or installing flood control measures. Construction options and cost analysis will also be part of the work, which will examine how any changes would affect agriculture, wildlife, forest firefighting and area landowners and businesses. This study was made possible with teh suppor of Lacome County, Ponoka County, SV of Gull Lake and the SV of Parkland Beach who supported a grant from the Alberta government. The study is now underway in the formal assessment phase by MPE Enngineering wtih Ponoka County graciously offering to manage and support the project. The Study is expected to take about a year, and results are expected by early 2027.
