Water Problem in Canada

Introduction

Talking about the water crisis and its future as a basic resource for life almost automatically leads to images of drought and deserts.

It is a country with large animals, strong, with bears and maple, still abundant. Canada got blessed with fresh water reserves which is the transparent god of the 21st century.

This city does not have much water supply for its people as because of its growing population. Most of their Great lakes are now started shrinking. The Water reservoirs shows a record low storage of water, comparing it with the whole Canada this problem is now becoming a serious problem for its residents. This problem will create a serious problem and will no longer able to supply water for its thirsty people (Swyngedouw, 2004).

Why this problem occurs? This is due to the transformation of rural areas to urban areas, eliminating forest and other industrials toxics are now creating problems in providing uninterrupted water supply, for this environment managers and water managers should have to take some serious steps so to stop the effect of ...
