Americans stockpiling water Trail Times Staff It appears the American demand on Canadian water sup- plies this year is going to be even greater than expected. Under a sub-agreement of the Columbia River Treaty, the U.S. is able to make the request for even more water than it is allowed under its initial Treaty obligation. It is eyeing the water Stored in the three treaty reser- voirs in the Kootenays; the Mica, the Arrow and the Duncan.

Energy resources critic Liberal Daniel Jarvis is demanding: the Provincial government intercede, since the Canadian External Affairs Department in Ottawa appears to be doing nothing about the grave situation "It is time this NDP govern- ment stand up to the United States and categorically say ‘NO’ to any request for additional Columbia river water ... water is a limited resource and there are significant environmental impli- cations to providing more water to the U.S.,” Jarvis said in a pre- pared statement. But the Canadian head of the Columbia River Treaty commit- tee Tim Newton said to Sterling News Services that environmen- tal concerns by Canadians will “probably” prevent releasing non-treaty storage.
