The federal role in water management / by John S. Mactavish. : En36-519/15E-PDF

"This review assesses major federal legislation policies and programs related to water resource management in Canada, exclusive of its provincial-type role in Yukon and the Northwest Territories. The constitutional setting is described, including its uncertainties highlighting the need for federal-provincial cooperation. Ten federal laws relating to water are examined and recommendations presented to improve the Canada Water Act, Environmental Contaminants Act and the Fisheries Act. Major federal programs assessed include those related to water quantity and quality monitoring, planning, regulation, flood damage reduction, regional water development, Great Lakes water quality management, municipal facilities funding, toxic chemicals and airborne pollutants. Recommendations are presented to strengthen programs as appropriate."--Abstract.
