Session: Groundwater Management I

ABSTRACT: A web-based Risk Management Measures Catalogue (RMMC) has been developed to assist Source Protection Committees, Risk Management Officials, and landowners with regard to policies and/or risk management plans to address drinking water threats. The risk management measures included in the RMMC have been peer reviewed by a number of technical experts and have been identified as being effective risk management measures to address one or more drinking water threats. It is expected that the RMMC will be continuously updated as information regarding new measures and verification of effectiveness these measures are received by the Source Protection Programs Branch of the Ministry of Natural Resources.

RÉSUMÉ: Un Catalogue de Mesures de Gérance de Risque (CMGR) a été développé pour le web pour aider les Comités de Protection de Source, le Directeurs de la Gerance du Risque, et les propriétaires fonciers en ce qui concerne les politiques et/ou les plans de gerance de risque pour adresser les menaces de l'eau potable. Les mesures de gerance de risque inclues dans le CMGR ont été réexaminées par pairs, par un nombre d'experts techniques, et ont été identifiées comme les mesures de gerance de risque pour adresser effectivement une ou plus des menaces de l'eau potable. Il est prévu que le CMGR sera continuellement mis à jour alors que les informations quant aux nouvelles mesures et que la vérification d'efficacité de ces mesures sont reçues par la Branche du Programme de la Protection de Source du Ministère de Ressources Naturelles.
