A Business Case for Investment in Canadian Community-Based Water Monitoring

By Geoff Gunn on November 25, 2021

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:

  • WHY CBWM is a cost-effective and scientifically rigorous way for Canadians to collect data on the quality of fresh water across watersheds,
  • 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.
