Water Quality

Subject Areas Cattle in water
Water is one of the crucial renewable resources originating from the Crown lands of BC. The potential for waterborne disease is a concern because of the high reliance on surface water supplies . Cow in riparian Range activities on Crown forests have been implicated in waterborne disease contamination of community water supplies but the scientific understanding of this relationship is not clear. The need for information on the impacts of range practices on water quality is necessary because of sporadic outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis in BC.
