The provincial government is seeking public input on a proposed new Water Sustainability Act.
The proposed new act would replace the existing century-old Water Act and "ensure that the use and management of water is sustainable for current and future generations," Ministry of Environment officials said in a press release.
The Living Water Smart blog (http://blog.gov.bc.ca/livingwatersmart/) will be the focus of this phase of engagement for the next five weeks.
Those interested can involved on the blog, where there will be a number of successive posts about the proposed new act. Participants can submit comments on the blog, as well as pose and rank questions that are most important to them and their communities.
