In 2006, I took part in the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Nairobi. I remember that the World Wildlife Fund and the Sage Foundation had published a report there. I was struck by some figures, and I took note of them. Apparently, Alberta was subject to 359 million cubic metres of water removals per year, just for the oil sand sector alone, and this was equal to twice the amount of water used by the city of Calgary. This isn't negligible; it's quite significant. At the end of the study, the report indicated that if the trend continued, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories would run out of water.
Is that forecast apocalyptic or realistic in your opinion?
