Stormwater Planning: A Guidebook for British Columbia
Stormwater Planning: A Guidebook for British Columbia provides a framework for effective stormwater management throughout the province. The stormwater planning guidebook - a new tool for local governments - presents a methodology for moving from planning to action that focuses on implementing early action where it is most needed.
