Bulk Water Exports
Given that Canada and the United States share interconnected water systems, there is pressure to send water to serve drought-prone areas in the U.S. through bulk water exports.

Bulk water exports and diversions would leave Canada’s water vulnerable to environmental depletion and to international trade challenges that could permanently open the floodgates to parched U.S. states.
