In Canada it seems that we have more than our fair share of water. However, Canada's water supply has many competing uses including: pulp and paper and agricultural industries, hydroelectric energy, domestic uses, recreation and tourism.
To be aware of the extent of our water resources and to manage them well, we need baseline data. As pressures on our water increase, the need for reliable hydrologic data and information becomes more urgent. The data collected by Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada and their partners make it possible to manage this vital resource and the environment that it nourishes.
ResEau demonstration efforts have focussed on a number of different aspects of water availability including surface water, groundwater and water budgets.
