Watersheds include: Peace River basin, Great Slave basin, Athabasca River basin and the Beaver River basin (creating a region stretching from the west to the north and northeast of Alberta). in the southeast are the Battle River, Sounding Creek and South Saskatchewan basis, all at drought stage 0.\n\nAt drought stage 1 are the North Saskatchewan, Red Deer, and Milk river basins, all three are shaded a pale blue. The North Saskatchewan and Red Deer river basins stretch across the center-south of Alberta from the Rockies to the eastern border, with two green basis separating them on the eastern border only. The Milk river basin stretches across the southeast edge of the province, along the US border.\n\nDrought stage 2 is shaded yellow and includes the Hay and Buffalo river basins in the northwest corner of the province, and the Bow River basin in the southwest, from the Rockies into the center of the province.\n\nDrought stage 3 is a pale orange and is only affecting the Oldman River in the southwest corner of the province, along the Rocky mountains and USA border.",
