Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : water quantity in Canadian rivers.: En4-144/29-2022E-PDF
"Canada is a water-rich country. However, too much or too little water can lead to serious problems. When there is too little water, there may not be enough water to irrigate farmland and there may be drought. When there is too much, rivers may flood. Depending on the region in Canada, changes to the amount of water flowing in rivers can be linked to changes in weather and climate along with other key drivers. These indicators provide information about water flows in rivers across Canada from 2001 to 2019 and by monitoring station in 2019. Longer-term trends provide an assessment of significant changes in flows, including very-high flows that can result in flooding, from 1970 to 2019"--Page 5.
