Water Drainage

Runoff In addition to pollution, Delta’s current water drainage system does not allow water to naturally infiltrate the ground. As a result, the water in the streams is warmer and lower than it should be in the summer.

Why Conserve Energy?

Power Consumption in BC Electricity on BC comes from… – Hydro Dams (86%) – Natural Gas-Fueled Thermal Plants (Backup for when Hydro Dams can’t produce enough) – Run-of River Generators – And others

Why Conserve Energy? Our population in growing, and demand will soon be greater than supply All forms of energy production have an environmental impact

Burns Bog Development Proposal The Burns Bog is a beautiful ecosystem that is home to many creatures. Developing on the Bog will dry out the peat moss and release tonnes of methane and pollution.
