A Business Case for Investment in Canadian Community-Based Water Monitoring
The time to coordinate and fund Canada's vibrant culture of community-based water monitoring (CBWM) is NOW.
In this new report and shorter policy brief we explain:

- HOW we need to coordinate and fund these efforts,
- WHEN we need to take action,
- WHAT the role of the burgeoning Canada Water Agency should be.
