Étude sur les données de base concernant l’utilisation de l’eau et les possibilités de technologies propres dans les secteurs des ressources naturelles

This research aims to:
1) Fill knowledge gap within NRCan on baseline fresh water use, including effluents that impact freshwater quality, and on clean technologies that have the potential to reduce the use of net freshwater (or reduce intensity of use) in the mining, energy, and forestry sectors; and
2) Make rough projections on freshwater use in Canada’s Natural Resource Sectors of adopting the most promising technologies that may be available by 2030.
