Every year, the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds holds a conference bringing producers, industry specialists, academia, government, and non-government organizations together to share their passion for water.

Some of the main topics and features of this year’s conference include:
- Regenerative agriculture
- Improving Crop Nitrogen Use and Limiting Nutrient Loss

- Economics of wetlands and marginal lands
- Maintaining soil health as an adaptation to climate change
- Producer funding opportunities through the Prairie Watersheds Climate Program (PWCP)
