| Abstract/Description or Keywords | Living in one of BC's driest regions, BC's Okanagan valley residents understand the importance of water, and the need to maintain the natural systems that provide life-giving water. Yet, growing population and land base demands have meant that water issues continue to mount in the Okanagan. The pressures are significant in the fast-developing Westbank and Peachland areas where the population has doubled in the last 20 years. In 2003, the Central Okanagan Regional District and the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management decided that a forward-looking plan was needed for this area - to address threats to environmental quality, as well as the area's long-term economic future. A water management planning process was initiated and in 2004 a water management plan was completed for the area known as the Trepanier landscape unit, named after one of the larger creek drainages in the plan area. Summit Environmental Consultants of Vernon, BC prepared the plan, in cooperation with the area's many stakeholder organizations that have an interest in sustainable water management. water supply, forest harvest, water quality, watershed management |
