Water quality and quantity in western Canada is being impacted by economic and industrial growth and pollution. The regulatory framework is constantly evolving in an effort to protect the increasingly limited water resources. Also, disputes over water are growing in number. It is crucial that governments, lawyers and companies are equipped with the tools to properly identify and resolve disputes. Non-compliance with water regulations or becoming entangled in disputes can lead to project delays, economic loss and/or liability.

At The Canadian Institute’s conference on Managing Water Resources & Disputes you will learn how to navigate the complexities of water regulation, as well as learn key strategies for preventing disputes before they arise or resolving disputes before they impact your bottom line.
