It was set up to implement the recommendations of the Okanagan Basin Study, and to take on a range of responsibilities for water management.

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or board:
“If water is too clear, it will not contain fish; people who are too cautious will never gain wisdom.”
—Chinese proverb.
“What happens in a strike happens not to one person alone.... It is a crisis with meaning and potency for all and prophetic of a future. The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical. The elements are these: a body of men, women and children, hungry; an organization of feudal employers out to break the back of unionization; and the government Labor Board sent to “negotiate” between this hunger and this greed.”
—Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)
