Water markets need to be reviewed and legislation around them reformed. Right now there's little transparency and with droughts a more common thing we need a better insight into what's going on with this to address water security #watersecurity #farming www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Buying and selling water is a reality in Alberta — sometimes for big money | CBC News
When a moratorium was placed on the South Saskatchewan River Basin in 2006, Canada’s first market-based system to trade water licences was created. And while benchmark prices have been set, there's a lot of murkiness involved.

High and dry: Federal budget 2024 misses the mark on water-related investments
In the lead-up to the 2024 federal budget, there was hope for investments in water management and water-related infrastructure. Those hopes were misplaced.

A good first step but there also needs to be limits put on how our water is used. Right now a high priority is put on it's use by industry. Increasing water scarcity doesn't make that a sustainable plan #watersecurity #droughts #Saskatchewan #Canada

Canada needs greater federal leadership on water because adapting to climate change requires national water solutions that bring together provincial, local and Indigenous jurisdictions.
