The NPCA Source Water Protection Study
For the past few years the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority has been undertaking studies regarding source water, and in particular municipal drinking water, throughout the Niagara region. This work is conducted under the Clean Water Act 2006 and directed by the province through a local Committee known as the Source Water Protection Committee.
A source water protection plan is a management strategy designed to minimize the impact that human and natural activities have on the quality and supply of our water resources.
Their data and findings have been presented at Public Meetings and are about to be published. The next stage over the next couple of years is to actually prepare The Plan.
The Fonthill Kame-Delta is a major feature in the Region’s source water mapping especially as it pertains to the headwaters of many creeks. See map below and specifically the large red area on Hwy 20 centered between the two great lakes!
