water volumes have dropped over the years to the point ships

over top primary recharge areas must be addressed at the federal
level. Provincial ministries lack the funds and staff to
establish this. We need federal source water protection
legislation in order to adequately assess cross jurisdictional
and federal economic risks associated with projects like this
and we need to place a monetary value on the function
of aggregate systems for the water resources they provide before
we destroy these systems. </FONT></DIV>
