The Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee’s Water Sustainability Project aims to understand and address water quality and quantity issues on Salt Spring Island. This project has two streams:
- Land Use Planning for Watershed Management
- Coordination of the Salt Spring Island Watershed Protection Alliance (SSIWPA)

Coordination of the Salt Spring Island Watershed Protection Alliance (SSIWPA)
The purpose of the Salt Spring Island Watershed Protection Alliance is to:

- Advise on policies of regional, local, and provincial government organizations that are related to freshwater resources; and
- Coordinate implementation of those policies
