The Digital Regulatory Assurance System (DRAS) was introduced by Alberta Environment and Parks in June 2021 to streamline the verification process for water licenses. This system enhances the efficiency of regulatory processes by leveraging digital technologies, allowing for more effective monitoring and management of water licenses. It enables more rapid access to the necessary data and compliance information for both users and regulatory bodies. The focus on a digital platform signifies a move towards modernization in environmental management, facilitating timely updates, better data accuracy, and improved interaction with stakeholders. This is especially important in a province where water management is critical for both environmental sustainability and economic development.
