SaskWater has received a Request for Service from the Town of Birch Hills requesting a peak flow of 130 igpm. An assessment was performed includes two of SaskWater existing systems. Option #1 the Melfort Regional Treated System (CLPOWSS); three scenarios were considered while investigating the CLPOWSS. Scenario #1 connects the Birch Hills community with the CLPOWSS, plus twining 5.5 km of the existing pipeline between Melfort and Kinistino, which would allow for 100% of average daily consumption. Scenario #2 increases the length of twinned portion of the pipeline between Melfort and Weldon to 17.5 km to enable supplying Birch Hills with the requested 130 igpm.…
The province of Newfoundland and Labrador has a variety of common crops grown, livestock bred and fish caught. These resources are used in recipes as ingredients and are a source of inspiration when creating new meals. Common and local crops grown in this province include: potatoes, turnip, cabbage, carrot, beets and berries. These crops are suited to the climate and soil type, making them able to be grown. Livestock is another large contribution to the food in Newfoundland and Labrador.…
Back in 2014 the city of surrey filed an application in regards to having a storm sewer and storm water diversion system on land that was not owned by the city of surrey. The piece of land had been licensed to the southern railway of British Columbia and is owned by BC Hydro. The CTA approved of the project suggested by the city of surrey. This essay will discuss how the future implications of the decision made by the Canadian transportation agency will affect BC Hydro, the Southern Railway of British Columbia, and the city of surrey.…
In addition to Global Warming’s impact on water, it also impacts the environment, harming ice and bodies of water, plants, and animals. Firstly, Global Warming leads to a shrinkage of glaciers and causes ice on rivers and lakes to break earlier. This decrease in ice also accelerates the rising of sea levels (NASA, The Consequences of Climate Change). Additionally, Global Warming impacts plants, as they are no longer able to survive in certain climates and locations, and trees are flowering earlier. Finally, as a result of Global Warming, animals can no longer live in certain places because places may no longer fulfill their needs (NASA, The Consequences of Climate Change).…
Quebec is an interesting province and a great place to visit for many reasons, first the word Quebec is Quebec city. Quebec, is the large and vibrant province, it is also a province of contrasts, it has some of the coldest winters in Canada, and some of the hottest summers. Third, the provincial flower is the Iris-versicolor. The other common name is Blue Wild or Water flag, Blue flag grows from 60 to 90 centimeters tall at maturity, Blue flag is our most wild spread native Iris. It is found from southern Manitoba eastward into the Atlantic provinces.…
The climate change has affected the Alberta floods. Some natural ways it has affected it are because changes in ocean currents, changes in solar radiation, natural activity like volcanic activity. Some human ways it has a affected it are because increases in the concentrations in green house gases mostly from burning fossils which traps heat in are atmosphere, using forests and the wetlands for agricultural, residential and industrial uses.…
Q4.1: (a) Does Boyd consider Canada to be a leader in environmental protection, or a laggard? (b) Why does he suggest that this should be surprising? (c) State briefly in your own words two weaknesses of environmental law in Canada. (d) What might an ultimate cause of these weaknesses?…
Climate change is a very significant, yet controversial environmental issue that has come to societies attention in recent years. Studies have shown that climate change causes negative environmental changes such as destruction of ecosystems, frequent droughts, and increases in global sea levels (Heath & Gifford, 2006). Although there are many studies that show evidence of climate change and the negative effects it has on the environment, there are still people that refuse to believe that climate change is a real and occurring issue. The following paper will begin by outlining the current federal climate change response policies in Canada under the Trudeau government. The mitigation and adaptation responses that have been practiced at the federal…
In Ontario the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has several guidelines for water conservation, drainage and using water for agricultural. The Government of Canada has set out several guidelines which farms in Ontario have to be in conjunction with in order to be sustainable to the water codes law (Riparian). The environmental protection Act is an act which, farmers have to attend to for protecting the water, air and land; outlined in the act are what to do for spills, waste disposal, and septic systems. The bigger act concerning water rights in terms of agricultural water usage in Ontario includes the following: The Agricultural Tile Drainage Installation Act; Clean Water Act; Conservation Authorities Act; Drainage Act; Lake…
Climate change is the single most environmental crisis of our time. It is responsible for raging storms, searing heat, ferocious fires, severe drought, and punishing floods. Climate change is posing a threat to our health, our communities, and our economy. According to scientists the main cause of climate change is from the “Greenhouse effect” and certain human activity are changing the natural greenhouse effect of our planet. Burning fossil fuels, clearing of land, lead to the heating up of the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in more evaporation and precipitation, melting of glaciers and increase sea level.…
Water, something people can’t live without with. However, water quality has always been an issue in Canada. People may not really notice it since in households, people can drink the water from the hose, or by boiling it if they are concerned about it. For example, due to population increase, it increases the demands for agriculture, manufacturing, energy and transportation. This also leads to pollution of chemicals into rivers and lakes in Canada.…
Climate change has had a big impact in Canada. As global warming increases in the world, wildfires are becoming much more frequent and common. One difference that separates the wildfires of 2015 from any other fire season is that they are much more uncontrollable. The cause? Every 4 out of 5 fires are sparked by humans making them the blame to most of the damage devastating farmers and folks of the prairie provinces.…
Since the glaciers are slowly going away, their will be less and less water during dry season which contributes to water shortage. Also, because of the melting of glaciers, it caused many more droughts and floods, ( Doc. A ), through which not only played a part in water scarcity but also in deaths.…
Canada is still behind other developed countries when it comes to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions it has reduced. While other developed countries are decreasing its emissions, Canada's is climbing. As global emissions are increasing, the decisions that countries make now about climate change are crucial and critical. I believe climate change needs to be dealt with immediately because first, the effect it has on the economy. Climate change is primarily caused by the greenhouse effect being enhanced by human activities, which alters the temperature of the planet; causing an increase in intense rainfall events, heat waves and droughts, a rise in sea level, and increasing the number of hot days and nights by warming the planet.…
More industry requires more water, and the quantity of water services is more demanding too. Plus the increase becomes any awareness to the government and it will provide better water services. (World Bank, 2016). All the water that is being used ,…
