Watersheds & Water Resources

Water is critical to us all — yet a year-round, abundant supply of clean water can no longer be taken for granted in British Columbia.

Watersheds are under intense pressure. Challenges include climate change impacts on the water cycle, high sector demands for water, water pollution, destruction of aquatic habitat, and severe weather conditions that risk flood, erosion and drought. The Fraser Basin Council supports collaborative work, both on flood risk reduction and on watershed health and water sustainability.
