- 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: 11-008-X201100111365Geography: CanadaDescription:
In society today, many Canadians are concerned about the environment and the scarcity of resources. Consequently, many individuals and governments are seeking ways to reduce or alter energy and water consumption patterns. This article uses data from the 2007 Households and the Environment Survey to examine the association between income, education, ownership, age of dwelling and years lived at the dwelling and the use of low-volume toilets; low-flow showerheads; compact fluorescent light bulbs; programmable thermostats; and appliances bought to save energy or water.
Release date: 2010-12-07 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X201000311346Geography: CanadaDescription: This article describes changes to the mass balance of six Canadian glaciers through time and is the first in an ongoing series of short analytical articles featuring climate related data. This and future articles are the product of ongoing collaboration among Statistics Canada, Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada.Release date: 2010-09-22
- 4. Freshwater supply and demand in Canada ArchivedStats in brief: 16-201-X201000011295Geography: CanadaDescription:
This analytical article "Freshwater Supply and Demand in Canada", provides information on Canada's freshwater supply as well as the demands placed on it. New research done within Statistics Canada is complimented by information from other sources, including other federal government departments, international bodies and scientific journals.
Section 1 of this article compares Canada's renewable water resources to those of other countries, introduces key highlights and presents a short water primer. Section 2 quantifies Canada's renewable water resources (annual water yield), shows how water yield has changed from 1971 to 2004, and presents graphs of water yield by month for four regions of the country. Section 3 quantifies economic and residential water use in Canada and concludes with an analysis of the relationship between supply and demand. A glossary of terms used in the publication is available in Section 4.
