BCWWA has recently decided to become more proactive in the area of advocacy. BCWWA’s positions on issues will reflect the collective wisdom and knowledge of its members.
Edited by David Brooks, Oliver Brandes and Stephen Gurman, this is the first book anywhere in the world to comprehensively present and apply the water soft path approach. It demonstrates that soft path analysis is both analytical and practical.
With a structured communications plan, the industry and the public at large can learn of BCWWA achievements. Success is very dependent on the input received from BCWWA members.
Donna Caddie (BC Ministry of Environment):
Understand how better urban, landscape and watershed planning can lead to water conservation and what tools are available to assist in this process
Unless there has been a major outbreak of waterborne illness in their community, it is unlikely that members of the general public have given much thought to the ‘value of water.’
Many utilities are beginning to see the value in turning drought into an opportunity to develop what City of Phoenix water managers call a low water-use lifestyle.
Gordon Campbell (former Premier, British Columbia):
The western premiers and territorial leaders have agreed to a Water Charter that makes protecting the resource a priority.
The plan is for 100 percent of VanDusen’s occupants’ water use to come from captured precipitation or reused water.
It is more important than ever to continue efforts to help others understand the need and importance of conservation.
The bulk of building projects in the U.S. miss out on one of the most potentially significant water conservation opportunities: rainwater catchment and reuse.
