This book represents the first comprehensive, synthesized single volume assessment of groundwater resources in Canada. Walkerton, water crisis, climate change, land use, drought, water energy, water bulk transfers, urbanization, transboundary aquifers — all of these are keywords and issues affecting Canadians today. This book contains the work of 45 noted Canadian groundwater scientists. It provides a science-based overview and a collective understanding of Canada’s groundwater resources in order to support their sustainable use and protection. The narrative discusses in detail each Canadian groundwater region within its geographic region, and analyzes the state of groundwater use today.
