The City of Vancouver's Groundwater Strategy outlines a phased, adaptive approach to understanding and managing the city's groundwater system. Its vision is to recognize groundwater as an important resource for mitigating risks, supporting ecosystems, and advancing climate change adaptation. The plan focuses on four key drivers: optimizing liquid waste management, mitigating and adapting to risks, strategic and sustainable groundwater use, and protecting ecosystems and the environment. The initial Phase 1 (2026-2030) prioritizes closing knowledge gaps, reducing risks, and streamlining internal processes, aiming for benefits such as simplified development review, cost savings in wastewater treatment, improved water resilience, and enhanced ecosystem health.
