Policy Text:
The Cataraqui Source Protection Authority, in cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources, KFL&A Public Health, the Leeds, Grenville, Lanark and District Health Unit, local municipalities, and other groups, should coordinate the collection and management of groundwater data in order to be prepared to better gauge the impact of climate change on sources of drinking water within the Cataraqui Source Protection Area.
Such a program should:
establish a means by which databases may be collated, and data shared and
facilitate the identification of gaps in current groundwater monitoring programs.
These bodies should work to establish this program within one year of the Source Protection Plan taking effect.
