Disappearing water
A study by Statistics Canada reveals that freshwater supplies have declined in Southern Canada over the last three decades. The loss is 3.5 cubic meters per year which is nearly equivalent to the amount of water supplied to Canada's residential population in 2005. In that 30-year period the Prairies are shown to be the area with greatest variability and lowest water yield.
The report reveals that in 2005, 90 percent of the water withdrawn from the environment went to the industrial sector with nine percent going to residential usage.
