The Board provides for the conservation, development and use of the water resources of the Northwest Territories in a manner that will provide the optimum benefit for all Canadians, and for the residents of the Territories in particular. Under the Act an application must be made to the Board and a licence issued prior to the use of any waters or disposal of any waterborne waste. The requirement for application applies equally to departments and agencies of the federal government. The only exclusions are the use of water for domestic purposes, for extinguishing a fire or, in an emergency, for controlling or preventing a flood. 2, record 1, English, - Northwest%20Territories%20Water%20Board
