KELOWNA - The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) has secured a $397,000 grant through the federal Gas Tax Fund, helping better understand the water needs in a region known for its water challenges and Canada’s largest population growth. The announcement was made Friday, Feb. 12, in Kelowna.
Thanks to this funding, a two-year study will begin looking at the Environmental Flow Needs (EFNs) – or the water needs of fish and aquatic ecosystems – in the Okanagan.
