Abstract/Description or Keywords The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) is the major intergovernmental
forum in Canada for discussions and joint action on environmental issues of national concern.
The 14 member governments work as partners in developing nationally consistent environmental
standards and practices. As part of a commitment to work collaboratively on key water issues,
the Water Agenda Development Committee (WADC) contracted Golder Associates Ltd. to
survey and report on the views of Canadian groundwater regulators, consultants, researchers and
users with respect to knowledge and knowledge gaps of groundwater in the country;
groundwater governance; linkages between surface water and groundwater management; and
research. This document is a summary of the opinions of those surveyed and does not represent a
conclusive survey on groundwater. As CCME work on groundwater is in early stages, the
information in this report and other studies will inform further CCME work on groundwater
policy needs and opportunities.
