Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (AESRD) is responsible for the Drinking Water and Wastewater Programs for large public systems in Alberta. AESRD considers the establishment of standards and guidelines for municipal waterworks, wastewater and storm drainage facilities an integral part of their regulatory program directed at ensuring public health and environmental protection. AESRD's objective is to develop comprehensive and scientifically defensible standards and guidelines that are effective, reliable, achievable and economically affordable. This present part is intended to provide general guidance on how to achieve a certain level of system performance or reliability. Good engineering and best management practices are included in this Part. These are not mandatory requirements but they establish the minimum quality of the facility expected when the system owner/utility applies for an approval.--Document.

As the sustainability of our natural resources is increasingly questioned, Canadians remain stubbornly convinced of the unassailability of our water. Mounting evidence suggests, however, that Canadian water is under threat. Eau Canada assembles the country's top water experts to discuss our most pressing water issues. Perspectives from a broad range of thinkers � geographers, environmental lawyers, former government officials, aquatic and political scientists, and economists � reflect the diversity of concerns in water management. Arguing that weak governance is at the heart of Canada's water problems, this timely book identifies our key failings, explores debates over jurisdiction, transboundary waters, exports, and privatization, and maps out solutions for protecting our most important resource.
