About Nunavut Water Board

The Nunavut Water Board’s primary function is to license uses of freshwater and deposits of waste. It has responsibilities and powers over the use, management and regulation of inland water in Nunavut and its mandate is to provide for the conservation and utilization of waters in Nunavut – except in national parks – in a manner that will provide the optimum benefits for the residents of Nunavut in particular and Canadians in general. The NWB operates at arm's length from government and other parties and is part of a larger management regime constituted of other Institutions of Public Government, including the Nunavut Surface Rights Tribunal, the Nunavut Impact Review Board and the Nunavut Planning Commission, as well as other land and resource management bodies like the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board, Regional Wildlife Organizations, and local Hunters and Trappers Organizations.
