AS water resources are part of the common heritage of the Québec nation, and it is important to preserve water and improve water management to meet the needs of present and future generations;
AS water is for everyone’s use and must be accessible in the quantity and quality required to meet every individual’s essential needs;
AS the environments associated with water resources make a fundamental contribution, particularly with regard to the quality and quantity of water, the conservation of biodiversity and the fight against climate change;

AS it is appropriate to set the objective of no net loss of such environments;
AS the State, as custodian of the interests of the nation in water resources, must be vested with the powers required to protect and manage those resources;
