Water Will Be the Issue of Our Time

摘要

It's that time of year again already. Except it's not! Level 1 water restrictions came into effect in Metro Vancouver on May 15, two weeks earlier than in previous years, the result of requiring Level 3 restrictions last summer for the first time since 2003.Added to this, the new B.C. Water Sustainability Act (WSA) was brought into force on Feb. 29 (as briefly noted in a previous "Inside View"). The WSA updates and replaces the previous B.C. Water Act, bringing in a number of important changes for existingand new surface water and groundwater users.
