Description

As the sustainability of our natural resources is increasinglyquestioned, Canadians remain stubbornly convinced of theunassailability of our water. Mounting evidence suggests, however, thatCanadian water is under threat. Eau Canada assembles thecountry’s top water experts to discuss our most pressing waterissues. Perspectives from a broad range of thinkers –geographers, environmental lawyers, former government officials,aquatic and political scientists, and economists – reflect thediversity of concerns in water management. Arguing that weak governanceis at the heart of Canada’s water problems, this timely bookidentifies our key failings, explores debates over jurisdiction,transboundary waters, exports, and privatization, and maps outsolutions for protecting our most important resource.
