BC Environment's Water Management section carries out responsibilities that include water inventorying, water licensing, regulation of water use, floodplain management, flood response, and ensuring safety of dams and dikes. These activities are embodied in the core strategies set out in this document's plan for Water Management. This plan's strategies and principles are intended to guide the section's actions, determine its priorities, and focus its resources. The document includes a vision statement that describes the section's desired future, the basic doctrines and beliefs of Water Management, an outline of an evaluation and monitoring program to ensure that the section achieves its vision, a list of specific initiatives to ensure that the core strategies are achieved, and an outline of new directions for the next seven years.

This broad review of the development of US water resource policy analysis and practice offers perspectives from several disciplines: law, economics, engineering, ecology and political science. While the historical context provided goes back to the early 19th century, the book concentrates on the past 60 years and features a discussion of the difficulty that has generally been encountered in bringing the disciplines of economics and ecology into collaboration in the water resource context. The book explores the evolution of water related analytical capabilities and institutions and provides illustrations from case studies, concluding with recommendations for research, institutional change and action. Though designed to be a background textbook for interdisciplinary graduate seminars in water resources planning and management, it is accessible to interested lay readers and those who have policymaking or implementation responsibility but lack a technical background. The book will appeal to students and faculty in water policy, economics, and engineering, and in interdisciplinary programs organized around water resource problems and questions. Policy makers and general readers will also appreciate this non-technical introduction.
