| Abstract/Description or Keywords | WWF-Canada produced this report to document the BC Hydro water use planning process and share the lessons from this successful, collaborative, multistakeholder water governance process. This process sought to find a better balance between competing uses of water, such as domestic water supply, fish and wildlife, recreation, heritage, and electrical power needs. By applying key concepts of collaboration and through the use of structured decisionmaking, alternative flow releases have been implemented, leading to improvements in fish productivity and habitat. watershed management, dam, reservoir, water supply, planning, allocation |
