How does the plan differ from what’s already being done through the Groundwater Protection Regulation?
This regulation is part of Living Water Smart and will be used to help achieve the plan’s vision. However, the plan is broader than regulation; it draws on a variety of other policy measures, including planning, education and incentives. Actions within the plan related to green developments, reducing water consumption and protecting and rehabilitating stream and wetlands are intended to promote changing behaviours and encouraging all British Columbians to become stewards of our water resources.
