"Water represents one of Canada's most valuable resources, covering 7.6% of its surface. There is no substitute for water. The survival of all forms of life depends upon an adequate supply of water of acceptable quality. Thus, sound knowledge of water quality is essential to all levels of government for the management of Canada's present water uses and for the planning of future uses. While management responsibilities for water are shared between the provinces and the federal government, the federal government plays an important leadership role, particularly when addressing water quality on a national level. The Water Quality Branch, Inland Waters Directorate, Department of the Environment, is responsible for providing this leadership.
