Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
I'm going to direct my questions to Dr. Clark and Dr. Pietroniro.
When we look at the modelling, it's something the Canada water agency, as you mentioned, could be involved with. In Calgary in particular, they are getting water from the Bow River, which is relying on glaciers, and the glaciers are receding. We have droughts in southern Alberta. We have the North Saskatchewan River and the South Saskatchewan River going into Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg, which then have hydroelectric dams, which also need water. We need water on the Prairies for food. We need it for municipalities. We need water for hydroelectricity. All of those are really under threat.
When we look at water itself, we have the surface water, either flowing or standing. We're familiar with lakes and rivers and streams. We also have groundwater below us, which is where Guelph draws its water from, which we don't see. We also have atmospheric water. When you're modelling and looking at the changes in the atmosphere and the clouds and rainfall patterns, you're dealing with a really complicated situation. It's not just rivers and streams.
Could you comment on the complexity and the need for science to be connected on this across Canada as well as internationally?
