Abstract/Description or Keywords Community input received through the Columbia River Treaty (CRT) Review process in 2011 and 2012 indicated that Basin residents want more information about the implementation of the Columbia River and Duncan Dam Water User Plans (WUP). This summary report provides an overview of the origin and process for Water Use Planning in BC, and reviews the implementation status of the Columbia River and Duncan Dam WUP projects to-date. The Columbia River and Duncan Dam WUPs have the most significant impacts on Basin residents and account for more than 95 per cent of WUP expenditures in the Columbia River Basin (the Basin) and more than 80 per cent of the region’s WUP projects and monitoring studies. There are six other WUPs in the Basin. They are not addressed in this report. See Table 2 for a list of Columbia Basin WUPs. This document was prepared using publicly-available reference materials and information provided by BC Hydro, the Province of BC and Columbia Basin Trust. Input on this document was provided by BC Hydro and the Comptroller of Water Rights (CWR).
