Abstract
Over the last thirty years the impacts and consequences of poor stormwater quality have been reflected in social concerns and the consequential increase in citizen action groups around the issue of the environment. Environmental degradation such as polluted beaches, inland rivers and coastal zones, contaminated land sites and loss of flora and fauna are broad social concerns needing an integrated community, industry, governmental and institutional response.

| Other | The Water Environment Federation (WEF) announces the availability of the WATERSHED 2000 Program Announcement. WATERSHED 2000 is cosponsored by the British Columbia Water and Waste Association, and the Western Canada Water and Wastewater Association, and supported by the International Joint Commission; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Environment Canada; Fisheries and Oceans Canada; the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks; and the British Columbia Ministry of Forests. WATERSHED 2000 offers a unique exploration of national and international watershed management challenges by bringing together leading environmental professionals for a comprehensive showcase on integrated resource management and environmental protection principles using watershed-based approaches. Vancouver, British Columbia, the host city for WATERSHED 2000 is an ideal location to examine these issues. The Pacific Northwest exhibits many common climatic and ecological features, yet the political and jurisdictional boundaries spanned by many of its watersheds create challenges to effective watershed management. Participants will explore the contrasts and common approaches among Canadian and U.S. federal agencies and among the state, provincial, and tribal/band agencies. |
