Data on Canada's water assets are now available nationally and by drainage region. The pilot water asset account provides information on available stocks of freshwater, as well as changes in those stocks through natural and human processes. The account establishes foundations for exploring the availability of water to meet demands from the economy and to assess whether water uses are consistent with long-term sustainability of freshwater resources.
