What it does

The International Joint Commission, based on scientific research, assists the governments of Canada and the United States in preventing and resolving disputes over shared water resources by pursuing the common good as an independent and objective advisor under the Boundary Waters Treaty. The Commission also rules upon applications for approval and management of projects that could affect the levels and flows of boundary and transboundary waters and where asked, monitor and provide advice on water quality.
