Abstract/Description or Keywords The Greater Vancouver Water District
(GVWD) and member municipalities work
together to supply clean, safe drinking water
for 2.2 million people in the Greater Vancouver
region. They do this using three integrated
sources—the Capilano, Seymour, and
Coquitlam watersheds—which are made up of
580 square kilometres of coastal, forested land.
One key component of clean, safe drinking
water is good watershed management.
So within Metro Vancouver’s Drinking
Water Management Plan, is the Watershed
Management Plan. It outlines the programs
needed to keep the watersheds operating well
and involves the following components.
