Severe drought prompts order to help restore flows in B.C.'s Salmon River

The B.C. government has issued an order affecting more than 450 water licenses to protect fish in the Salmon River watershed, saying the Thompson-Okanagan region has been wracked with “severe” drought.

Experts from environmental organisations, including WWF, are calling in an op-ed for Euronews for urgent action to adapt to a changing climate. By placing the restoration of landscapes and healthy water systems at the heart of climate legislation can help to reducing climate risks at their root.
