The department does participate in a number of water boards, which in some cases provide advisory services, but in some cases actually control water flow and participate in monitoring water quality, for example, at the point where water crosses a border.
Slide 15, for example, illustrates the Canada-U.S. boards that we participate in, including the Souris, the Red, and the Rainy-Lake of the Woods boards. Then, of course, there is also the Prairie Provinces Water Board that was formed under an agreement with Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, which again controls flows across border, provides information on water quality at the borders, and which provides a forum for joint management of these issues more broadly.
