Water law in Canada : report on a workshop for the Inquiry on Federal Water Policy / by Harriet Rueggeberg and Andrew R. Thompson, Westwater Research Centre, The University of British Columbia.: En36-519/1E-PDF

"Water Law in Canada contains an overview of basic water law in Canada beginning with common law and civil law rules and explaining how these have been modified by statutory provisions. It then identifies water law issues that have legal implications and proceeds to examine a number of these in detail. In particular, because this publication is based on a workshop presented by the Westwater Research Centre, UBC, at the request of the Inquiry on Federal Water Policy, the issues examined are those that raise questions about the approrpiate role of the federal government in the management of Canada's water resources."--Abstract.
