The entire Columbia River Basin (Canada and the US) crosses one international boundary and seven state boundaries. However, ecosystems and water management issues transcend these boundaries. CBT works with a variety of Federal, Provincial, State, First Nation and local governments to address transboundary water management issues.
Transboundary Water Projects
CBT and the Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NWPCC) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) 2002 in which both organizations recognized that ecosystems transcend international borders. Together CBT and NWPCC committed to working collaboratively to educate and communicate with Basin residents, share information, improve fish and wildlife habitat and address transboundary water management issues. One of the current collaborative projects is the Columbia Basin Centre of Knowledge.
