Guided by a vision to be the best water management agency in North America, the WSA plays a pivotal role in Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan for 2020-2030 by expanding irrigation capacity and supporting agricultural and industrial development. Beyond infrastructure, the agency is a lead regulator for agricultural water management and aquatic habitat protection, while also representing the province in transboundary water negotiations. Through its commitment to service excellence and science-based policy, the WSA strives to provide safe, reliable water that enhances the quality of life for all Saskatchewan residents.
