About
The WaterWealth Project works to amplify the voices of local community members who love the place in which they live, the nature around them, and the waters that sustain them.
Our goal is 100% community control over decisions affecting our local home waters. We recognize that long term solutions to the protection of fresh water – and the benefits that we all enjoy from our water wealth – can only be achieved with a recognition of First Nations rights and title. We work for local communities to have the power to say 'yes' or 'no' to decisions that affect the wealth of their water.
We believe that water is precious, and that ordinary people can protect it. Many people – especially in the agriculture, fishing and tourism - depend on water for their livelihoods. But water wealth is also about the physical, spiritual, cultural and ecological prosperity that water makes possible.
The WaterWealth Project is about taking a fresh approach to economic-well-being, one that respects the needs of all living beings and provides the foundation for healthy, thriving communities. We recognize that the actions of today drive the outcomes of tomorrow.
Water testing protocol
WaterWealth's testing is based on protocols of the Pacific Streamkeepers Foundation and informed by networking and collaborations with peers, ecological professionals and our area DFO community advisor.
