Why do I need a water license?
Water is a limited resource and in BC is owned by the crown. The authority to divert and use surface water is obtained by a license. The Water Stewardship program is a means of protecting the water and facilitating a sharing process for this limited resource while continuing to meet the need ecosystem which it supports.
For information on the water stewardship division please check out their website.
