There are significant regional variations in water use, due to agricultural production and thermal-electric power generation. In order to account for these differences, the standard national input-output table was expanded for this analysis. For agriculture, the crop and livestock industries were expanded into individual crop and livestock types using a detailed study of this industry produced by the Industry Accounts Division at Statistics Canada in cooperation with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. For electricity production, the electric power industry was expanded into 5 regions (Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairies, and B.C/Territories) following the grouping presented in the Industrial Water Survey data. The expansion of the electric power industry was based on production and output data from the provincial input-output tables.
