The waters of rivers, 'streams• and creeks ' belong to everyone.
Improper use of the watercourses which carry these waters may
result inthe following? .
- irrigation and drainage problems for neighbours
• destruction of aquatic and wildlife habitat
reduced recreational opportunities
- erosion and flooding problems
Whenever permanently flowing watercourses are to be altered in'
any way including damming, diverting, and channelization,
Federal and provincial laws require that the approval of the
Ministry of Natural Resources be obtained,
As a first stip in planning any work on a watercourse, contact us.
Our staff- will be glad to discuss possible design and layout alter-
natives which will minimize future problems for you, your neigh-
bour and public in general,.
