Water-Our Limiting Resource
A conference was held in Kelowna in February of 2005 with an objective of investigating a sustainable approach to Water Management in the Okanagan. This conference was hosted by the B.C. Branch of the Canadian Water Resources Association. Discussions were held over three days, with the summary report available to read.
Among discussion topics was the reality that water resources in the Okanagan Basin are now heavily alloted. In 1974 an extensive study of the Okanagan Water Basin entitled, Main Report of the Consultative Board, was commissioned and out of this report came eleven main recommendations focused on sustainable water management for our valley. Now 31 years later only a few recommendations have been acted on.
How can we begin to change this?
