Making
changes
to a
watercourse?
The waters of rivers, streams and creeks belong to everyone. Improper use of
the watercourses which carry these waters may result in the following:
- irrigation and drainage problems for neighbours
- destruction of aquatic and wildlife habitat
- reduced recreational opportunities
- rosion and flooding problems ,
Whenever permanently flowing watercourses are to be altered in any way in-
dudinitlamming, diverting, and channelization, approvals are required from
the Ministry of Natural Resources.
As a first step in planning any work on a watercourse, contact us. Our staff
will be glad to discuss possible design and layout alternatives which will min-
imize future problems for you, your neighbour and the public in general.
