Alberta Views, July 2013.
The demands on Alberta's water comes from many quarters. Put a few
farmers, oil and gas executives and city mayors in a room to discuss the
issues, and you'll soon realize their demands are not compatible. Can
we agree on the definition of a "sustainable" economy?
My latest piece for not-Water Canada is a feature in Alberta Views magazine that explores the current state of the province's water conservation efforts. Given the recent disastrous floods in southern Alberta, the timing of the issue seems a little too perfect, but, if anything, it underscores the importance of planning for long-term integrated water management.
