This is urgent ! We request that the Cowichan Valley Regional District and the Regional District of Nanaimo develop bylaws and policies that prohibit land use on top of the Cassidy Aquifer.
The aquifer has long ago been determined as highly vulnerable.
Why is this important?
Climate Change is occurring. Our drinking water and water that is used for agricultural purposes is under threat. Water must be protected now and into the future.
The land on top of the aquifer is subject to chemicals, sewage and other pollutants that in turn will filter down into the aquifer poisoning it forever.
Water is life...please remember this!
