- Articles and reports: 16-002-X201100111421Geography: CanadaDescription:
Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs associated with the acquisition and treatment of water will vary by treatment technology, annual production volumes and the type of source water processed. This study analyzes the data collected by the 2007 Survey of Drinking Water Plants to illustrate how O&M costs vary by these factors.
Release date: 2011-03-23 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X201000411372Geography: CanadaDescription:
Potable water of sufficient quality and in adequate quantities is fundamental to human health and the economy. This article examines temporal and geographic variations in drinking water production volumes.
Release date: 2010-12-08 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X200900310927Geography: CanadaDescription:
Water is essential for crop production, whether it is provided by rain or irrigation. Although relatively few farms in Canada irrigate, this use of water can represent a significant portion of water use in some areas of the country. This article presents information on the use of irrigation in 2007.
Release date: 2009-09-24 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X200900210889Geography: CanadaDescription:
Canada's renewable water resources are mostly the result of rain and melted snow that flow over the ground, eventually reaching our rivers and lakes. This article describes the results of a new methodology producing consistent national estimates of Canada's total annual average water yield from 1971 to 2000.
Release date: 2009-06-18 - 5. Who uses water-saving fixtures in the home? ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200800310686Geography: CanadaDescription: Canadians use large amounts of water every day. Household fixtures such as low-flow shower heads and reduced volume toilets allow households to conserve water and reduce utility bills. The study uses data from the 1994 and 2006 Households and the Environment Surveys, to examine use of these water-saving fixtures.Release date: 2008-09-25
- Articles and reports: 16-002-X200800210620Geography: CanadaDescription: Using data from the Households and the Environment Survey, the study examines the characteristics of households drinking bottled water in the home.Release date: 2008-06-25
- 7. Agricultural water use in Canada [2001] ArchivedThematic map: 16-002-X200800110541Geography: CanadaDescription:
Water is an essential input for crop and animal production. This article, based on the study "Estimation of Water Use in Canadian Agriculture in 2001", maps agricultural water use across the country.
Release date: 2008-03-27 - 8. Water Management on Canadian Farms ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-021-M2007001Geography: CanadaDescription:
The analysis contained in this article is based on results from the 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS). It presents information on various practices used to manage water on Canadian farms. Practices surveyed are divided in two groupings: those used to protect natural sources of water - maintaining vegetation on areas adjacent to natural sources of water, management of grazing livestock, conservation measures for natural wetland areas, and disposal of milkhouse wash water and toxic wastes; and those related to the use of water for farming and household activities types of irrigation systems and testing of domestic water.
Results show that farm practices impacting water quality and quantity are significantly used by Canadian farmers. Higher adoption rates of environmental measures could likely be achieved to reduce agriculture's environmental footprint. These results can assist governments, farmers and non-governmental organizations in targeting actions and in the promotion and development of new farm environmental programs and practices.
Release date: 2007-11-06 - 9. Home heating and the environment ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050049126Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using the Survey of Household Facilities and Equipment and the Survey of Household Spending, this article shows that, since the 1940s, Canadians have rapidly adopted new energy sources for household heating. It then shows how these important changes have affected greenhouse gas emissions attributable to the residential sector in recent decades.
Release date: 2006-03-21 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2005006Geography: CanadaDescription: This bulletin groups watersheds according to the share of their population that is designated as "census rural" in order to profile the rural versus urban demographic structure of watersheds across Canada.Release date: 2006-01-05

- Articles and reports: 11F0027M2004026Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper develops a production framework that allows for self-supplied water intake, an unpriced 'natural' input. The framework is then exploited to estimate the corresponding water shadow prices and to assess the extent to which water impacts on the multifactor productivity performance of the Canadian business sector's industries.
