We present our third and final instalment of our series Blueprint Alberta-H2O. We've been looking at Alberta's water supply...and our stewardship of it. Are we running out?
This week, we look at the water guzzler in your home and it's not the toilet. We'll look at water as a commodity and how it might be traded in the future. And we'll wrap up the series looking at what we all can do to conserve water.

Best of Alberta-Episode 25
This week we present the "Best of Blueprint Alberta-H2O". It's a three-week series spear-headed by CBC Radio in Calgary. We're going to look into Alberta's water supply. Our three main focusses will be quantity, quality and use.
Are we going to have enough? Is it clean and safe? And how do we use or abuse it? In week one, we visit Stettler, Alberta...a town still recovering from the drought of 2002. We look into the provincial moratorium on water licences...and we'll also do a water taste test.
