| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The scope of work for this project included an inventory of agricultural dams within the region and consultation with local stakeholders (i.e. local producers, provincial government agencies, and Ducks Unlimited Canada) to assess the magnitude and nature of issues and challenges. Also included is an analysis of how climate change will impact agricultural dams and a summary of the various costs associated with the regulatory requirements for dam owners. In addition, potential solutions for the identified challenges are explored, along with options for sharing risks and costs associated with agricultural dams. The project scope did not include detailed assessment or inspection of individual agricultural dams. Project scope also didn’t involve evaluation of the physical infrastructure or technical issues with individual dams. Therefore, the study does not provide solutions that are specific to individual dam owners and instead focuses on shared issues and concerns. The scope did not include evaluation of the provincial B.C. Dam Safety Regulation or the B.C. Dam Safety Program. |
