| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Drinking water source protection began in Ontario in response to the Walkerton tragedy in May 2000, when seven died and thousands became ill from drinking
municipal water contaminated with E. coli and Campylobacter bacteria. The public inquiry that followed recommended a multi-barrier approach to protect drinking water from source to tap. In response, the province passed the Clean Water Act in 2006 as
the first barrier. The intent of this new legislation was to protect the sources of drinking water before it enters municipal water systems.
Scientists across the province were tasked with developing Assessment Reports to characterize the quality
and quantity of drinking water resources. In addition, these reports documented the human and ecological features, mapped areas vulnerable to impacts from human activities, and enumerated significant drinking water threats. The technical work
included integrated mapping of surface and subsurface features, groundwater / surface water modelling, contaminant transport, capture zone analysis for municipal wells, and enumeration of significant drinking water threats.
At Toronto and Region
Conservation, 456 significant drinking water threats were identified with respect to municipal wells, and locally developed policies were developed to eliminate or manage these threats. The source protection policies were developed into a Source
Protection Plan by scientists, engineers, and planners who worked in partnership with a local Source Protection Committee. Each of the 19 committees across the province included a mix of municipal appointees, industry representatives, and watershed
residents.
The policies for the jurisdiction of Toronto and Region Conservation took effect December 31, 2015. These policies are based on science, and yet recognize the existing fabric of land development and the effects of human activities on
the landscape. We have met the challenges of implementation of new policy tools by a variety of government agencies by ensuring rigorous public consultation, inter-agency meetings, and provincial oversight. |

Procès-verbaux pour la géoscience des eaux souterraines à échelle régionale Organisée par la Commission géologique de l'Ontario, la Commission
géologique du Canada et les géoscientifiques de Conservation Ontario. La journée portes ouvertes est prévue pour 2017-03-01 et 02. L'objectif est l'engagement du public et la diffusion de la géoscience dans le sud de l'Ontario au cours de la dernière
année. |
