The Okanagan is a semi-arid region of Canada with a sense of place closely linked to our unique local environment and culture. The Okanagan offers a high quality of life in large part due to the water resources (lakes, rivers and aquifers) that we share.
As a resource to water professionals, business leaders and residents of the Okanagan a collection of water conservation web materials and information have been compiled to support making informed choices in water conservation --- guided by best practices.
Water conservation professionals from municipalities, regional districts and water purveyors throughout the Okanagan provide for expertise to support residents, agriculturalists and the business community conserve water.
Our goal is to support the implementation of water conservation best practices to achieve a sustainable future within the uncertainty of supply variability and the constraints of a water limited region. As local government, residents, farmers and business leaders, we have the opportunity to be part of the solution. Thank you for doing your part in conserving the important water resource we share in the Okanagan Basin – One water.
