| Resource Purpose |
"In 2003 the Drinking Water Protection Act came into force in BC based on the “multi-barrier” concept. In 2003 the Drinking Water Potection Legislation also was released. In March 2005 the Ministry of Health Services and the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection released the draft Comprehensive Drinking Water Source to Tap Assessment Guideline. The objective of the assessment procedure was “to identify hazards and vulnerabilities that may threaten the safety and sustainability of the water supply and recommend risk management actions to address them”. The first barrier in the multi-barrier approach is the source area source protection. The Kiskatinaw River watershed is the source of water for the City of Dawson Creek (City). This is a summary of the proposed source protection plan for the watershed. This plan builds on previous work carried out in the watershed including the Kiskatinaw River Integrated Watershed Mangement Plan (1991), the Kiskatinaw River Watershed Management Plan (2003), the Dawson Creek Land and Resource Management Plan (1999) and the Kiskatinaw River Watershed Assessment (2004)." |
