You're guilty until proven innocent. And you feel pretty small going up against a big government bureaucracy that doesn't want to admit it's wrong. Balderdash, say farmers. Zone 4 comprises 15 per cent of Manitoba farm land. That's 6,500 square kilometres. You don't think that is cropped, except for some "minor exceptions? If their maps are inaccurate, then it's the province's responsibility to fix the problem, not force thousands of farmers to appeal, a process that would drag on for years.
The new Water Protection Act declares 500 acres of Bessant's farm as Zone 4 land and therefore no longer farmable except to graze livestock. Bessant says the designation has caused the land's value to crash from $400,000, to just $100,000. That's on land south of Brandon that has been sown with crops for three generations, and that yielded over 40 bushels of canola an acre last year. It's not just coming out of farmers' bank accounts, it's coming out of rural municipalities as well (which depend on the farm economy)," said [Les Routledge]. The province is trying to calm producers. The province says farmers shouldn't take too literally the zone maps it distributed, or its estimate that 15 per cent of agricultural land is Zone 4 land, found on page 8 of its Regulation Under the Manitoba...

There are no limits to the levels of phosphorus discharged from lagoons, or septic fields, which are still popular among many, growing communities. For that matter, there is no limit to the size of a community that can use septic fields, which are notoriously leaky and ill-equipped, as a system, to handle the loads within growing subdivisions. Limiting pollutants and capping the use of septic fields were worthy pursuits long before former Water Stewardship minister Steve Ashton passed what was supposed to be a "watershed" piece of legislation in 2004 -- the controversial Water Stewardship Protection Act. More than three years later they remain simply that, worthy pursuits.

La question de à exportation de l'eau en gros soulève discussion dans les milieux politiques, économiques, écologiques et nationalistes, surtout au Canada. Cette étude en examine la faisabilité commerciale. Un projet hypothétique est conçu, avec pour site la Vallée d'Annapolis, située dans l'ouest de la Nouvelle-Ecosse, au Canada. Les données démographiques, le climat et l'économie de la Vallée sont analysés et sa ligne de partage des eaux étudiée dans le but de mieux choisir le site d'extraction. La ville de Brownsville au Texas est le marché hypothétique retenu. Un plan contenant un devis estimatif est proposé. Pour exporter l'eau, on se servira de grands transporteurs de brut (VLCC). Les calculs indiquent qu'une telle entreprise est quatre fois peu rentable, d'où la rareté de tels pr...
