Submission re: Manitoba Water Management Strategy
Posted:
Manitoba’s Expert Advisory Council (EAC), established under the Climate and Green Plan Act, has been mandated by the Minister of Conservation and Climate to provide advice to inform a new provincial water management strategy. The EAC, in turn, sought advice from water stakeholders. Responding to an engagement document which proposed key issues, goals and performance indicators, our submission provides 14 recommendations including: increasing Indigenous representation at decision-making tables; prioritizing phosphorus reduction to address the eutrophication of Lake Winnipeg; and using community-based monitoring data to support provincial water decision-making.
