Water
From the Galiano Conservancy Association: "When living on a small island like Galiano, precautions must be taken to make sure we have a stable and reliable water supply year-round. The water that falls on our land is used for drinking, cleaning, irrigation, and cooling, among many other things. With drier summers and wetter winters, finding ways to stabilize our water supply and demand over the year is paramount to the sustainability of life on the Gulf Islands. " Where does your water come from? Depending on where you live you may have your own well, be part of a community water system (also well) or use storage tanks for water. Additionally you may have a catchment system in place.
