摘要

This research explores factors that facilitate and constrain source water protection. The theoretical approach of this research borrows from political ecology, a field of study gaining prominence in First World research that pays close attention to how relations of power operate between and among different actors to impact environmental conditions. The research findings are based on four local case studies from the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. The methodological approach for this research draws upon qualitative and quantitative data derived from semi-structured interviews and document analysis. Forty-two interviews were conducted with a wide range of participants throughout the Okanagan Valley and the provincial capital, Victoria, between August 2004 and August 2005. Additionally, over fifty documents from multiple sources was examined.; The research reveals that factors facilitating source protection tend to concentrate at the local scale. Facilitating factors include formation of multi-purveyor joint water committees, relationship building between and among different watershed user groups, broad-based education and dissemination of watershed information to ratepayers, and the appointment of water purveyor staff to assist in coordination of watershed activities.; Factors constraining source protection tend to concentrate at the provincial scale and include lack of jurisdictional capacity within community watersheds as well as fragmented roles and responsibility of senior agencies around watershed management generally and source protection specifically. De-regulation and re-regulation tendencies of government respecting broader provincial policy have been contradictory to specific safe drinking water policies adding to confusion among water purveyors and water resources professionals. In addition, evidence points to provincial inter-agency rivalry that operates to constrain source protection efforts. At both the local and provincial scale there appears to be an incomplete understanding of the meaning of source protection and the multi-barrier approach.; Attention to power relations based on a research perspective from political ecology helped to reveal that local water purveyors within the Okanagan Valley remain limited in their capacity and frustrated in their efforts to advance source protection.
