Re-Inventing Rainwater Management in BC's Capital Region (2010)

"We need to extend this approach beyond Bowker Creek," stated Calvin Sandborn when he announced release of "Re-Inventing Rainwater Management" at the 2010 Bowker Creek Forum. 
"In the document, we put forward a specific strategy to legislate Low Impact Development. We also talk about watershed governance. It is very difficult to do watershed planning if you have fragmented jurisdictions."

Produced by the Environmental Law Clinic at the University of Victoria, "Re-Inventing Rainwater Management" documents how 'green' rainwater management has now been adopted by engineers, developers, planners and governments across North America. 

The report also demonstrates that 'Design with Nature' approaches and Low Impact Development techniques are environmentally superior, and often are cheaper. In addition, they can provide incalculable benefits in the form of enhanced urban green space as well as improved urban aesthetics and recreational opportunities.

The Bowker Creek Forum on February 23, 2010 was a celebration of the Bowker Creek Blueprint. Because the Blueprint accomplishment is of provincial significance, the Forum was also an opportunity for inter-regional learning.
