Water for Life is the province of Alberta's strategy for a coordinated and effective approach to water management that outlines specific strategies and actions to address the province's water issues.

The Government of Alberta has released the Water for Life action plan, the roadmap that the government and its partners will follow over the next 10 years. The action plan supports the goals and directions in Alberta’s renewed Water for Life strategy.

The renewed strategy better reflects the population increase and economic growth Alberta has seen over the past years, and Albertans’ changing water needs. As in the original, the renewed Water for Life strategy has three main goals:

• Albertans are assured their drinking water is safe.
• Albertans are assured that Alberta's aquatic ecosystems are maintained and protected.
• Albertans will be assured that is managed effectively to support sustainable economic development.

These goals will be met through knowledge and research, partnerships, and water conservation.

The renewed strategy and corresponding action plan reaffirms Alberta’s commitment to the Water for Life approach: the wise management of our province’s water resources for the benefit of all Albertans
