The survey questionnaires (one for each of the three components) were designed in consultation with specialists in Statistics Canada and Environment Canada.
The information collected included the sources of water used, what purposes industry used the water for, whether or not water was recirculated or re-used, where the water was discharged and what treatments were used for water brought into the facility and discharged from the facility. Also, water acquisition costs and operating and maintenance expenses related to water intake and discharge were collected.
