The Water Security Agency is continuing flood mitigation efforts, with renewed funding for mapping efforts in south and central Sask.

More than $2 million has been earmarked in the 2023-24 budget as an investment into the agency’s Flood Hazard Identification Mapping Program. Through the program, the WSA conducts mapping and technical work to evaluate risk for communities identified to be in potential flooding zones. The purpose is to understand where protection or mitigation work is needed, to prevent significant harm from possible flood damage, according to the province.

The renewed investment will affect communities across the province, he added, and the program specifically works with communities identified to be at risk.Article content
