FUTURE POLICIES FOR URBAN DRAINAGE IN ONTARIO

Pages 6-16 | Published online: 23 Jan 2013
 

Abstract

Investigations and studies on many aspects of urban drainage have been carried out through the Urban Drainage Subcommittee (UDS) under The Canada-Ontario Agreement on Great Lakes Water Quality.The background on the inter-governmental agreements which led to the formation and funding of the UDS is outlined. The general concerns with urban drainage which the Subcommittee intended to address, the specific terms of reference under which it would function and the various activities, programs and studies are highlighted.Finally, a discussion is presented on the aims, objectives and direction which Ontario’s policies for urban drainage control will likely follow.

Des recherches et des études couvrant plusieurs aspects du drainage urbain ont été effectuées par l’intermédiaire du Sous-comité sur le drainage urbain dans le cadre de l’Entente Canada-Ontario sur la Qualité de l’eau des Grands Lacs. Dans ce texte, on met en lumière les préoccupations générales en drainage urbain, les attributions spécifiques et les diverses activités de ce Sous-comité sur le drainage urbain. On discute enfin les buts immédiats, les objectifs à long terme et la direction générale que prendront probablement les politiques du gouvernement de l’Ontario en vue de contrôler le drainage urbain.
