Members
The Study Board is co-chaired by the U.S. Accredited Officer of the St. Mary and Milk Rivers, John Kilpatrick, and the former Canadian Accredited Officer, Dr. Alain Pietroniro. The Accredited Officers are appointed by the United States and Canada to apportion the waters under the guidelines set out by the 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty and the 1921 IJC Order, which specify how the water is measured and apportioned between the two countries during the irrigation season. Additionally, the Board features four other members, two from Canada and two from the United States. These members have been chosen for their expertise and ability to provide unbiased, scientific advice for the basins.
