UDI Luncheon Program introduced Water Balance Model to Victoria development community (March 2008)
Development and Watershed Protection are Compatible?
Since When?
In March 2008, UDI Victoria invited Kim Stephens, Program Coordinator for the Water Sustainability Action Plan for British Columbia to inform the development community about the the Water Balance Model for British Columbia.
In speaking to the land development versus watershed protection compatibility challenge, his key message was this:
What we believed to be ‘unachievable’ in 1998 may in fact now be within our grasp.
To emphasize the material progress that has been made over the past decade, Kim Stephens introduced the graphic presented above and titled Alternative Visions for the Long-term Environmental Health of Stream Corridors.
The graphic was developed a decade ago as a decision support tool and is a centrepiece graphic in Stormwater Planning: A Guidebook for British Columbia, released in 2002.
