Water use in the coal mining industry and its influence on ground water in western Canada / W.B. Barrie and C.H. Carr.: En36-517/154E-PDF

"Coal production in Canada has increased dramatically since 1970, and although growth slowed unexpectedly during the early 1980s, most experts estimate that production will increase twofold by the year 2000. Approximately 90% of the total Canadian thermal and metallurgical coal production in 1985 (60.5 million tonnes) came from British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan; it is anticipated that the domination of Western Canada in total coal production will continue to the year 2000"--Abstract.
