Yes, of course.
In some places, the planning done at the watershed level is very effective. However, in other places, the management could be planned better.
By way of context, water is a regional challenge. There are several ways to approach watershed management. Some approaches work well, but the solutions for a watershed in one region may not be the same as the solutions in other areas. The dynamics are different, depending on the quantity, quality and types of pressure.
Every province has a different approach to water management. In some places, watershed authorities have the tools and funding to invest in research, management and knowledge transfer. However, this isn't the case everywhere. The level of investment isn't the same in all regions.
We believe that these authorities should receive better support and the tools needed to manage the watersheds. This would help to support people who are well versed in the matter, who are working in this environment, who have experience in the field and who know the situation in their region's watershed.
