Progress on the Action Plan for Safe Drinking Water in British Columbia by British Columbia. Office of the Provincial Health Officer Pdf

Drinking water quality is a public health issue. In 2003, the Drinking Water Protection Act came into force and designated the Ministry of Health as the lead agency for drinking water issues within the province of British Columbia. This report outlines the provincial government's, health authorities' and water suppliers' activities and accomplishments during the 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 fiscal years. This report includes the background information on how the Drinking Water Protection Act is administered in BC. It places the activities, progress and accomplishments of the provincial government, health authorities and water suppliers during this period. It also sets the foundation for future accountability reporting, building on an accountability framework developed by the Auditor General and making a series of recommendations to help guide planning and future activities.--Includes text from document.

Water Policy in Canada by Mohammed H. Dore Pdf

This book deals with the water policy and management in Canada. It discusses various problems and risks in the fresh and drinking water supply in the second largest country in the world. Mohammed Dore argues that water is underpriced and used wastefully in Canada. In selected case studies, he illustrates the major threats from human activity to Canadian freshwaters and drinking water resources, including manufacturing, mining, oil sands production, animal farming and agricultural use. Selected case studies include reviews of even dramatic incidences, e.g. the Walkerton tragedy of 2000, when 7 people were killed and 200 went onto permanent dialysis treatment because of water contamination with harmful pathogens. The book warns that wastewater treatment standards are often not sufficient, so that many drinking water resources are in peril of wastewater contamination. As most of the water resources are provincial responsibility, the book discusses the water management policies in the different provinces separately. Through a detailed discussion and statistical analyses, it can define water policy and management lessons that emerge from the investigated case studies. It ends by contrasting water policy and practice in Canada with the practice in some European countries.

Integrated Water Management in Canada by Dan Shrubsole,Dan Walters,Barbara Veale,Bruce Mitchell Pdf

This volume provides readers with an opportunity to learn from front line water managers of watershed-based agencies across Canada about integrated water management (or integrated water resource management). In common with practice in much of the world, the responsibility for implementing integrated watershed management in Canada is fragmented. Each province and territory in Canada has developed unique approaches or governance models to guide decision making in that regard. Thus, this edited volume enables readers from around the world to gain insight on the best practices in Canada for achieving success and addressing barriers to implement IWM. Although there remains non consensus about how to "best" approach river basin management, some of the main observations include: There is a need to balance a focus on "the big picture", with scoping the scale and scope of planning activities in order that feasible and effective solutions can be implemented Three types of integration are popular among the agencies included in the book: (i) among environment, economy and society, (ii) interactions between people and the environment and (iii) integration (or coordination) of administrative activities. Much more attention is required to achieving effective engagement from Indigenous communities The chapters were originally published in a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.
