Nova Scotia's freshwater resources
Water is unquestionably one of the most important natural resources on Earth –everyone and everything needs water to live. Canada contains 9% of the world’s accessible freshwater and Nova Scotia alone has over 100 river systems, 10 000 lakes, and 35 000 wetlands. We use several forms of freshwater: drinking, ground, surface and waste water, resulting in our households using 700-1400 liters of water/day.
