The Environmental Flows Conference is returning October 2026
Science, Stewardship, and Living Rivers
The Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Okanagan Basin Water Board, and the Canadian Water Resources Association welcome you to the 2026 Environmental Flows Conference — bringing together researchers, water managers, and Indigenous knowledge holders from across Canada and around the world to advance the science, policy, and practice of environmental flows.
The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) was instituted in 1970 as a collaboration of the three Okanagan regional districts to provide leadership on water issues spanning the valley.
Advised by an innovative cross-disciplinary Council, the Board delivers programs and activities to promote coordinated water management throughout the basin.
