Manitoba's new water strategy: Limit its use

Manitoba is unveiling a new water strategy that emphasizes conservation — and floats the idea of a new pricing system. The provincial Progressive Conservative government released a strategy on Tuesday that will, in broad strokes, guide Manitoba's actions to protect its water resources for years to come. The province said it will develop an action plan this winter to determine its future decisions. The strategy vows to "make every drop count" by valuing the province's water resources. "The focus needs to shift from supply-side management solutions to approaches that reduce how much water we use," the strategy reads.
