Accessibility, Quality and Safety of Liard First Nation's Drinking Water Supply
Lalita Bharadwaj, University of Saskatchewan & Lisa Christensen, Yukon College
This project collected information on Liard First Nation’s drinking water access, safety and sustainability in order to help community leaders make decisions about supply, management and policy. Using a community-based research method, researchers tested the quality of 40 private drinking water wells that are not regularly monitored; studied how the area’s groundwater and surface water is connected; and used a household survey to ask residents about their values, concerns and practices regarding drinking water.
