Thesis: Canada is not distributing it's water source in an efficient manner.
Canada isn't using up its natural water source
fairly
Consumption rates are
too high, 335L of water a
day
Only behind America
in water usage, more
than double Europe's
consumption
Not all of Canada's
water is renewable or usable
60 percent of fresh
water drain northward;
furthest from where it's
needed
Water consumption rates are increasing
Make damages worse and
worse, Canada specifically is
doing this while other countries
(USA) are planning on
decreasing their consumption
rates
Mining and Extractive Industries in Canada
pose a severe threat to the water resources
Fracking is ruining the
environment and is occurring
because it provides natural
gas
Requires very high water use, poses
serious threats to ground water and local
drinking water
Clean up costs are extremely high
Creating loopholes to avoid
paying the price for
expensive illegal actions
Lake dumping effects on the water
negative effects on aquatic
lives; 500 times the safety limit
for contaminants
The Natives of Canada aren't receiving the same
rights when it comes to their water
Provincial and Federal governments
are not doing enough to help out
They fought over who's
responsibility it was to deal with
the water issue instead of fixing it
first; ultimately saving the health
of damaged first nations people
Face extreme medical issues
Due to the E.coli levels
found in water; skin
diseases like scabies and
impetigo occured
There everyday lives had been
changed for the worse
Mining companies are invading
their space, resort to outhouses,
have to deal with water with
toxic tailings
