Resumen

This Act is divided up into 17 sections and provides for the management and control of provincial waterpowers, administered through the Water Resources Branch (sect. 2). "water power" refers to any force or energy of whatever form or nature contained in, or capable of being produced or generated from, any flowing or falling water in such quantity as to make it of commercial value. Section 4 deals with the application of the Act and section 5 vests waterpowers in the Crown. The authority for disposal of lands is dealt with at section 7, expropriation of lands by the Crown can be found at section 8 and the procedure to take private lands by application is at section 9. Section 10 contains details on Cancellation of entries, leases, etc, and compensation. Section 11 outlines provisions where it is possible to have a joint development of waterpowers. The following sections deal with investigation of water powers; powers of Lieutenant Governor in Council; boundary waters; and general provisions, namely that the Court of Queen's Bench may make decisions which effect the provisions of this Act and Costs.
