This monograph was prepared as Canada’s contribution to the freshwater dialogue at the Sixth Session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (1998). It provides an overview of Canada’s freshwater resources, including water quantity, use, and quality, and outlines challenges such as pollution, high per capita consumption, and infrastructure needs. The document emphasizes sustainable water management through partnerships, ecosystem-based approaches, and science-driven policies. It also highlights Canada’s international cooperation on water issues, research initiatives, and community-based conservation efforts, aiming to balance environmental, social, and economic considerations for long-term water sustainability.
