Groundwater Resources, Management, Current

| Resource Purpose |
"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." |
