Democratizing BC's Water Governance: Discussion Paper

Long Petition to Protect BC Rivers
Protecting BC Rivers

Introduction: This document is meant to 'up the ante' on public debate respecting water and its allocation in British Columbia. It also presents creative ideas to significantly democratize water governance/management in the province. Your support would help to increase public awareness of water issues and hopefully "kick-start" a democratic process to modernize water law in British Columbia. The province-wide situation we face respecting private power development on British Columbia rivers is due to a dysfunctional, ancient Water Act that centralizes political decision-making and fails to act in the public interest by placing too much priority for water allocation on industrial uses.
