- Journals and periodicals: 18-504-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription: Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis (RSGA) of the Agriculture Division prepared a series of maps and statistics that show the progression of the 2009 Red River valley flood in Manitoba for the spring of 2009. Starting with an image acquired on March 31, the maps were produced from the analysis of Radarsat-2 satellite image data integrated with 2006 Census of Agriculture data and census geography boundary files. From this analysis, the total area of flooded agriculture land and the number of farmers affected were calculated. A comparison is made with the 1997 flood that occurred in the same region.Release date: 2009-05-11
- Articles and reports: 21-006-X2007005Geography: CanadaDescription: This bulletin's analysis focuses on the effect of "rurality" in determining: 1) water consumption flows at the municipal level; and 2) water quality perception of a household, as proxied by the water treatment choice of a household.Release date: 2009-01-23
- 203. Greenhouse gas emissions: a focus on Canadian households ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200800410749Geography: CanadaDescription:
Households contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada both directly and indirectly. Direct emissions occur through the use of motor fuel and residential fuel, while indirect emissions result from the production of goods and services purchased by households. This article examines households' direct and indirect GHG emissions from 1990 to 2004.

In 2006, almost half of Canadian households were very active across this range of environmental behaviours.Release date: 2008-12-09

Release date: 2008-12-09 - Articles and reports: 11-624-M2008021Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
The present study illustrates the differential impact on regional economies of relative price changes stemming from commodity price movements, exchange rate changes and changes in international manufactured goods prices. It focuses on Canadian provinces, which are a large, geographically distributed federation of regional economies with widely differing economic bases. In this regard, the study illuminates an important method for examining regional economic performance that is particularly well suited to federations such as Russia or the European Monetary Union, or to large countries such as the United States.

Release date: 2008-11-13 - 209. Thermostat use in Canadian homes ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200800310684Geography: CanadaDescription:
Turning down the temperature by just a few degrees at night is one way Canadians can reduce their home heating expenses while also reducing their impact on the environment. Using data from the 2006 Households and the Environment survey, this study examines home heating practices and temperature controlling behaviours.
Release date: 2008-09-25 - 210. 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

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 1903Description: The Environmental Protection Expenditures Survey provides a measure of the costs incurred by Canadian industries to protect the environment, whether or not they are in response to current or anticipated Canadian or international environmental regulations, conventions or voluntary agreements. The survey also collects information on the goods, technologies and services purchased by industries as well as the processes and practices adopted by them to protect the environment. Data from the survey are used predominantly by policy analysts and by both industry and academic researchers. Data may be used to monitor expenditure trends within industry groups or provinces for the purpose of developing business or research and development strategies, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of policy.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 2009Description: This survey collects information that will help Canadians understand the contributions made by waste management industry to Canada's economy and environment.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 2749Description: The purpose of this survey is to measure road use by light motor vehicles, their fuel consumption and their impact on the environment.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 3808Description: The major objective of this survey was to collect information on nature-related activities, and what these activities contributed to the Canadian economy.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 3881Description: The Households and the Environment Survey (HES) measures the environmental practices and behaviours of Canadian households that relate to the condition of our air, water and soils. The survey was also designed to collect data to develop and improve three key environmental indicators: air quality, water quality and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5044Description: This survey, focusing on both livestock and crop operations, will allow the establishment of base lines and development of updates for an expanded set of agri-environmental indicators, and generate the information to design effective and well targeted policy and program responses.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5081Description: The survey collects, analyses and publishes information on industrial greenhouse gas emissions to support Canada's national and international reporting obligations and the public interest as it relates to climate change and the environment.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5114Description: Natural resource asset accounts are one of the main elements of the United Nations System of Environmental-Economic Accounting which was adopted as an international statistical standard in 2012. Natural resource asset accounts measure quantities of natural resource assets (oil, natural gas, minerals, and timber) and the annual changes in these assets due to natural processes and human activity. These accounts, which are recorded using both physical and monetary units, form the basis of the estimates of Canada's natural resource wealth that are integrated into the Canadian national balance sheet accounts.
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5115Description: Physical flow accounts are one of the main elements of the United Nations System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) which was adopted as an international statistical standard in 2012. These accounts record, in physical units of measure, the supply and use of natural inputs (e.g. cubic metres of water), products (e.g. terajoules of gasoline), and residuals (e.g. kilotonnes of carbon dioxide emissions).
- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 5120Description: This survey is being conducted to provide Canadians with national and regional indicators related to the use of water in industry.
