The basin-wide approach is a level above a watershed. The Assiniboine River basin, for example, is comprised of three smaller watersheds—the Qu'Appelle, the Assiniboine and the Souris, the Souris being the main stem. All of those waters converge through those systems into the Assiniboine before they meet the Red River, so it's all part of the larger Lake Winnipeg basin. If you have the ability to look at that map, it includes a large chunk of Alberta and Saskatchewan. It includes the Red River system, which goes into the U.S. and Lake of the Woods, so it's a huge area that all comes into Lake Winnipeg and then flows north into Hudson Bay.
It's important, on a transboundary scale, for individuals or organizations to work across those borders, because those waters do flow, and legislation, policy, regulations and international law all impact that water. That's all part of where we live and work. Whether you're receiving it or delivering it, it's important that you work with your neighbours and understand their positions and where they come from. That's what we try to do as an organization, transcend those boundaries, share information and co-operate so there is a better understanding in each jurisdiction.
