Ms. Que BanhWhere do we go from here?Unlike the Cowichan River, the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Koksilah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Koksilah</a> is an uncontrolled <a href="https://beige.party/tags/river" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#river</a> with no storage and as such, there are limited options available to manage flows. The only options available to us are to change our current practices around <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LandUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandUse</a> and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WaterUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterUse</a>. Most importantly, the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/KoksilahRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KoksilahRiver</a> is challenging all of us to work together to collaboratively identify and implement solutions that will impact us all. New collaborations and partnerships are emerging.An informal “Koksilah <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DroughtManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DroughtManagement</a> team” has been formed to discuss how to collaboratively make short term in-season decisions and work with water users to navigate periods of low flow. This ad-hoc group is comprised of representatives from <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FLNRORD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FLNRORD</a>, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Cowichan Station’s Koksilah Working Group, BC Dairy Association, BC Agriculture Council, Cowichan Watershed Board, Farmland Advantage, Water Survey of Canada, Cowichan Estuary Nature Centre and private forestry representatives.In the longer term, an innovative government to government partnership has been struck between Cowichan Tribes and the FNLRORD to explore and scope the feasibility of initiating a joint <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WaterSustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterSustainability</a> Planning process, an innovative new tool under <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCWaterSustainabilityAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCWaterSustainabilityAct</a> (2016).For more information about the potential of Water Sustainability Plans, see Curran, D. and O.M. Brandes. 2019 Water Sustainability Plans: Potential, Options and Essential Content (2019) by Deborah Curran and Oliver M.
