As said in the Syilx Water Declaration, “When the land and the waters are healthy, the people will be healthy. When the people are healthy, the lands and water will be healthy, too.” Do your part to be water smart and use only the water you need.
In recent years the Nicola watershed has experienced a variety of water management issues related to changes in water quality, quantity and the health of aquatic ecosystems. The frequency and severity of drought in the region has increased, resulting in water restrictions across the watershed and affecting environmental flows needed to sustain salmon runs.
Water is critical to our survival. Physically, culturally and spiritually we depend on water to sustain us. Water is life.
