Description
Argues that fragmentation of jurisdiction and lack of coordination over different levels of government has led to gaps, uncertainty about responsibility, problems with accountability, and failure to protect source water. Further argues that the current model of using watershed management agencies is inadequate and government should be moving to Integrated Water Resource Management, which is a more inclusive and holistic approach.
