To ensure the existing or future activity that takes water from an aquifer without returning the water to the same aquifer ceases to be or never becomes a significant drinking water threat, where the activity is or would be a significant drinking water threat in WHPA-Q1, the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks should adopt and fund the on-going maintenance of the Tier 3 numerical models, including:

a. Supporting environmental monitoring efforts to address data gaps and improve simulations of cumulative effects; and
b. Incorporate new information as appropriate into the Tier 3 models to provide decision makers with a tool to make informed water management decisions.
