Abstract
A Water Strategy for New Brunswick 2018–2028 defines the main water related priorities for government over the next 10 years. The Strategy's vision is that New Brunswick’s water will be protected and managed to ensure its quality and availability for future generations. Five principles expand on the vision statement and guide decision making in relation to New Brunswick water (Significance, Sustainability, Conservation, Shared Stewardship, Transpaerncy and Accountability).
Five goals connect the vision and principles to specific subject areas of focus. They follow: Goal 1 - To better understand and share knowledge about water; Goal 2 - To protect drinking water supplies; Goal 3: To preserve and enhance aquatic ecosystems and the water on which they depend; Goal 4 - To work cooperatively on aspects of water protection and management; Goal 5: To report publicly on strategy implementation.
The Action Plan (page 7) describes the goals in greater detail and lists the various initiatives that will translate the goals into tangible actions.
