Daily mean flow of the North Saskatchewan River at Edmonton (Water Survey of Canada station 05DF001), in cubic metres per second, with the lowest and highest daily means stored for the station. Daily means of Environment and Climate Change Canada's real-time readings, provisional until the Water Survey of Canada approves them. ECCC keeps 30 days of real-time data; FlossyPurse Studios Data keeps every day from October 2026 on, so the range grows with the record.

Daily mean water level of Wabamun Lake at the Sundance Power Station (Water Survey of Canada station 05DE002), in metres above sea level. The thick line is the newest year the Water Survey has approved (2024 as of November 2026); the thin lines are the lowest, median and highest level recorded on the same calendar day from 1991 to the year before. Days recorded since October 2026 from Environment and Climate Change Canada's real-time feed follow it, provisional until approved. Through all of 2024 the lake sat below its median for the date, peaking at 724.235 m on May 7 against a median of 724.375 m, and ending the year at 723.980 m against 724.207 m. It stayed above the lowest on record for every day.

Daily mean flow, in cubic metres per second, of six of Alberta's major rivers: the North Saskatchewan at Edmonton, the Bow at Calgary, the Red Deer at Red Deer, the Oldman near Lethbridge, the Athabasca at Athabasca and the Peace at Peace River. Daily means of Environment and Climate Change Canada's real-time readings, provisional until the Water Survey of Canada approves them. ECCC keeps 30 days of real-time data; FlossyPurse Studios Data keeps every day from October 2026 on, so the range grows with the record.

Share of each summer's beach water samples above the Alberta Safe Beach Protocol benchmark for blue-green algae (more than 50,000 cyanobacteria cells per mL, or more than 10 µg/L of the toxin microcystin), at Wabamun Lake, Isle Lake, Lac Ste. Anne, Pigeon Lake and Wizard Lake, and at every Alberta beach sampled, from 2013 (cell counts began in 2012). The 2022 benchmark is applied to every year. At Wabamun the share ran from 89% of 9 samples in 2016 to 7% of 14 in 2022, and was 36% of 14 in 2026 against 31% across Alberta; every Wabamun sample that crossed it did so on cell count, with microcystin never above 1.4 µg/L there since 2009. Isle Lake, on the county's northwest edge, was over in 8 of 11 samples in 2026. This is monitoring data, not the advisory record: Alberta Health Services issues advisories, and a sample over the benchmark does not mean one was. Samples per lake are small and not random (beaches are often resampled after a high result), Wabamun was not sampled in 2018, and the 2026 figures are preliminary.

Hectares of wetland in Parkland County as mapped in the County's two wetland inventories: one from aerial photographs taken around 1950, one from the County's 2013 photographs. Wetlands covered 72,485 ha around 1950 and 33,019 ha in 2013, 54% less. Bogs and fens went from 44,633 ha to 24,169 ha, and marshes, swamps and open water from 27,853 ha to 8,850 ha. Named lakes are shown apart and barely changed (11,698 ha and 11,633 ha). The 1950 inventory has only two classes, assigned from the nearest 2013 wetland, so the groups are the ones both share; dugouts and other built ponds (1,580 ha in 2013) are left out. Both inventories were prepared for the County by Fiera Biological Consulting Ltd.
