Again y te me.

Feel just that
much more...

Water quantity seems
more significant crisis

Dear Editor:
Re: Watershed management
Of the three major aspects’ of

watershed management — water -

quality, walter. quaitity, and
regime (timing of flow) — only
water quality. and the potential
impact on water
ry activities in the watersheds ap-
pear to gct significant ‘discussion
in the media, and is the focus of
the unrelenting interest of the en-
vironmental groups about such
activities,

According to recent actions (ie.
sprinkling restrictions) and
notifications from .the Greater
Vancouver’ Water District
‘mangement, water quantity rather
than water quality appears to be
the more: significant crisis facing
the residerts and’ industrial com-
‘munity of the Lower Mainland.

My recollection from studies

guality of forest- -

completed in forest hydrology
some years ago (although some-
“what hazy now) is that significant
research in watersheds in other
jurisdictions has resulted in timber
harvesting strategies designed to
increase snowpacks and to reduce
interception Insses from winter
precipitation.

Since the primary’ goal of
management of the local water-
sheds is to ensure the maximiza-
tion of the potential to provide
water of the quality and quantity
required by an expanding popula-
tion, 1 would respectfully submit
that vegetation management
strategies .to enhance the
hydrologic capabilities of the wa-
tersheds may become essential in
the future.

Mulron ney farewell tour

unique

“Although: Mr. Mulroney's:

“been widely’ criticized “it . seems: to

have gone unnoticed that such ‘use

countries’ leaders inaking official
. farewell tours?

- Byen world: leaders like. United

Any tours. these important peo-
ple have made since leaving office
were. by invitation; the anticipated
absence of same being the proba-
ble reason Mr. Mulroney made

: : gure he got his while he still had
his hand in cur pockets.

We shouldn’t forget, however,
that Mr. Trudeau also “did some
globetrotting at our expense at the
_time he quit. «”

It seems we ‘paid his expenses
while hé was searching the world
for a ?ob with the UN. :

.He even received a $50,000
award from them for whatever it
was he did during the search — a
tidy amount that. could have
helped defray his expenses, but I
don’t believe it did. ;

‘ Tthought this was worth men-
tioning.
