Groundwater quality in Canada : linking science & policy / A. S. Crowe and K. Schaefer. : En13-5/04-158E-PDF
"Over ten million Canadians rely on groundwater for drinking water. In the past, Canadians have assumed groundwater provided an ample supply of water free of contaminants. However, recent contamination events and media coverage have lead to heightened public awareness and concern over the vulnerability of this resource. This heightened awareness is challenging governments at all levels to respond with better and more effective programs and policies to protect groundwater quality, and to ensure we have the essential science to guide these programs. In March 2002, in response to concerns about groundwater quality in Canada, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment sponsored the workshop Linking Water Science to Policy: Groundwater Quality. The workshop presented the results of new research and management practices to senior policy personnel, and provided a mechanism for leading scientists and water managers to contribute expert input to Canadian water programs. This paper presents the key scientific research and policy needs for 11 key groundwater issues identified by the workshop"--Abstract.
