How is Southern Alberta and the Gulf of Mexico connected?
Asked by Wiki User
The Gulf of Mexico watershed occupies in Canada a small portion of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. The waters drain south into the Mississippi system, which ultimately drains into the Gulf of Mexico. (The Gulf is part of the Atlantic Ocean but, because of the Mississippi, it is often studied as a separate entity).
Finally, parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan have closed watersheds or areas of internal drainage: these are river systems that do not drain into any ocean.
