Water Quantity
Despite the apparent wealth of fresh water in the Columbia Basin, increasing human activities, population growth and climate change are placing pressure on this precious resource. CBT supports a wide variety of education and awareness initiatives to help Basin residents understand the interconnectedness of the supply, uses and demands of this invaluable natural resource.
Water Quantity Projects
Domestic water consumption is increasingly being identified as a critical issue for Basin communities and in order to deal with this issue, water conservation measures are needed. Columbia Basin Water Smart is a regional water conservation program that will provide support to Regional Districts and Municipalities to address their local water conservation needs. Water Smart will aim to achieve a 20 per cent Basin-wide reduction in community water consumption by 2015.
Columbia Basin Trust supports efforts by the people of the Basin to create a legacy of social, economic
and environmental well-being and to achieve greater self-sufficiency for present and future generations.
