Abstract

Canada is widely seen as a water-rich country as it possesses 7 % of the world’s reliable flow of freshwater and has many of the world’s largest rivers. Nonetheless, Canada’s water resources face a number of significant challenges arising from population growth, natural resource –based developments, the looming implications of climate change, a growing reliance on large-scale irrigation, and a legacy of past laws and regulations unable to address these challenges adequately. This chapter sets out the objectives of this volume and summarizes the contributions made by each of its chapters.
