A new documentary is bringing awareness to the water crisis in the Oldman River watershed, starting with its title: Dried Up, What Now?
The Old Man River reservoir, seen here in early March 2024, is at its lowest level in more than 20 years., a group residents, landowners and supporters concerned about the future of the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills area in southwest Alberta, the headwaters of the Oldman River.
The Livingstone Landowners Group says the documentary was developed in response to the severe drought conditions in the Old Man River Watershed and fears the situation could worsen this summer. They hope the documentary will not only raise awareness of the impact of the declining water levels but also spur discussion about possible solutions.Céline Dion shares rare photo with sons, ‘determined’ to return to stage
