"We're beginning to understand that our water resources are not unlimited. We've lived for generations with the myth of limitless water abundance and gradually, I think, that particular myth is being eroded." Sandford, who chairs the Canadian Partnership Initiative of the UN Water for Life Decade, thinks that myth comes from misconceptions Canadians have about water. While Canada holds 20 per cent of the world's fresh water supply, it holds only 6.5 per cent of the world's renewable fresh water, and much of it is up North, far away from big cities. Randy Christensen, a spokesman for Ecojustice Canada, an environmental advocacy group, said the government needs to play a significant role in rectifying the situation. Public education, incentives for eco-friendly appliances, more rigorous industry regulations and fixing leaky city pipes are all ways the government can help. "It is possible to use less water and not have it affect our quality of life," Christensen said. Christensen noted that, although Canada is making some strides, they are in areas where water use has already peaked, and a strain on the environment has already occurred. "The environment suffers first, before humans," he said.

Water moccasins, also known as cottonmouths, are not found in Canada. They are primarily located in the southeastern United States and parts of Mexico. Canada's cooler climate is not suitable for this species, which prefers warmer, wetter environments. In Canada, you may find other types of snakes, but not water moccasins.
Some top countries for water consumption include: United States, Canada, Australia, Bolivia, Mongolia, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Kazakhstan. To see a world map of water footprints, see the related link.
canada doesn't export any water.Actually no country exports water . the water comes from underwater pipes.
HOW MUSH OF Canada water is undrinkable..
US and Canada are countries that need to help each other forever because it shares the same border and they are neighbours. We should do free trade agreements to get what we need. Canada already has enough water compared to the population we have in Canada. We need things that we do not have. Even though Canada gives oil, and other stuff and get nothing in return from them, but little food. We should atleast get some money for the water we have to give to them.
no because they will not give to Canada if Canada had a water shortage
America and Canada
Mexico and Canada
50% of oil comes from Canada, and is a raw material. Without it, the economy in the U.S. could suffer drastically, not to mention water and lumbar that is dependant upon other countries.
Why not? There isn't anything wrong with it. It's probably cleaner than most countries water. It's not like being Canadian is a disease. You won't suddenly become Canadian of you take a sip of water from Canada.
* waterfalls * lakes * other countries
yes there is.
The rivers' water is needed in other countries.
Water-rich countries include Indonesia, Brazil, and Russia, while water-poor countries include Egypt, Libya, and Yemen. Water-rich countries have abundant freshwater resources, while water-poor countries face challenges in accessing clean water for their populations.
The water could pass throught other countries and possibly lower downstream water sources for other countries.
