The Wall government on Monday released its 25 Year Saskatchewan Water Security Plan. For the first time, all of government's core water management responsibilities and technical expertise will come together to help ensure a comprehensive and integrated approach to water management. 'We want to ensure there is a sustainable water supply available to support our growth, a healthy environment and our quality of life,' Minister responsible for the Water Security Agency Ken Cheveldayoff said. The plan is designed to ensure the sustainability and quality of Saskatchewan's surface and ground water supplies while protecting drinking water supplies from the source to the tap. The plan outlines seven goals: Sustainable Supplies, Drinking Water Safety, Protection of Water Resources, Safe and Sustainable Dams, Flood and Drought Damage Reduction, Adequate Data, Information and Knowledge and Effective Governance and Engagement. The new Water Security Agency will see the strategy implemented province-wide, reporting annually on its progress.
