Water use data is vital to ensure that the province's water resources are properly managed. That is why all water rights licenses contain a clause requiring the proponent to install a meter or timing device on the water source. Another clause requires records be kept and forwarded to the Water Licensing Branch, either upon request or by February 1st of the following year. Depending on the type of project, records must be kept on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, tallied for yearly consumption, and submitted to the executive director, Infrastructure and Operations Divisions each year.
