Do we have enough  WATER to grow the food??? Steven E. Koonin, Under Secretary for Science, U.S. Department of Energy

Canadians do not show up well on OECD Environmental Water Indicators Trend Since 1980, overall water use in Canada has increased by 25.7%. This is five times higher than the overall OECD increase of 4.5%.  In contrast, nine OECD nations were able to decrease their overall water use since 1980 (Sweden, the Netherlands, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Poland, Finland and Denmark).
Perception that we squander water exacerbates issue of water use in resource extraction ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Protestors demonstrate outside the U.K. headquarters of BP in London on Sept. 1, 2009. Protestors earlier targeted the head office of a leading bank, demonstrating against the bank's investments in fossil-fuel projects, especially funding for the coal industry and tar-sands extraction in Canada.
Food Energy Water Tradeoff Food Water Energy This is the challenge of Public Policy in Alberta
Adaptation strategies are very different North and South
Estimated Annual Water Use was  3.2 billion cubic metres in 2005 69% 6% 5% 6% 14%
Oil and Gas Industry most likely to adapt Challenges: South Saskatchewan:  Scarcity.  This industry usually last priority for water Lower Athabasca:   Social license to operate
Alberta Water Allocations and Estimated Use Source:  Alberta Environment
Water use in Agriculture and Energy
Annual water consumption forecast for power generation in Alberta*  *by type of power generation Note that water consumption scale begins at 100,000,000 m3
Upstream Petroleum Industry Fresh Water Demand Forecast Extraction Only OS- Tailings   Integrated OS - Tailings Extraction Only OS – Proc.& Other Integrated OS - Cooling Note:  Fresh Water Demand  for the Oil Sands operations  is the water withdrawn from the River; does not include fresh water collected  on site
South Saskatchewan Region Estimated Water Use by Sector Estimated Water Use 2.4 billion m 3  per year
The Surface Water Supply in the North is large Source:  Alberta Environment
Athabasca has a large Environmental Base Flow Source:  Alberta Environment
Lower Athabasca Region  Estimated Water Use by Sector  Estimated Water Use 0.124 billion m 3  per year* * 5% of water use in South Saskatchewan region
Challenge of Tailings Ponds remains
The Oil Sands Leadership Initiative Alberta Environment, Alberta Energy and SRD participate as observers Five founding companies : www.OSLI.ca
Major investments in Technology in Oil Sands Advanced boiler technology that could take untreated (or lesser-treated) water directly Ceramic membranes  for more efficient SAGD de-oiling &  filtering Tailings recovery technology allows for faster reclamation of tailings areas  and higher water recycle rates

  1. - Mark Twain quote
  2. Annual renewable water supply per person is a common indicator of sustainability, stress and scarcity. It recognizes that fresh water, though renewable, is finite over the longer-term . Any population growth generally results in growing resource demands and therefore an increased competition for water amongst an increasing number of users. Such measures give us an approximate carrying capacity of a watershed, river basin, or nation. However, these are simplistic measures and the actual usage patterns and demands will be influenced by geography, culture, level of development and other factors such as the mix and types of industry and agriculture. Environmental needs, such as aquatic ecosystem health, are not considered by these measures. These assume gross average natural supply and any reservation of supplies for instream purposes will change (reduce) the amount available.
  3. 20% of the world's drinking water is in Canada, but Alberta accounts for only 2.2% of Canada’s fresh water. While 80% of Alberta's water supply lies in the Northern part of the province, 80% of our water demand comes from the Southern half of the province. These figures from Alberta Environment illustrate that the province does not suffer as much from a shortage of water as it does from an unfortunate geo-spatial distribution of water. SSRB represents only 12% of Alberta’s water resources but accounts for nearly half of allocated water in the province (Including the Red Deer River – 13% of water resources account for 2/3 of allocations). The basin houses over half the province’s population and has a large irrigated agricultural land base Water Short – Considered either exceptionally dry or the area has been closed to new water applications Potentially Water Short – Considered wither relatively dry or the area has a high level of applications compared to natural supply Water Short Areas are the lower reaches of the Bow, Oldman, Red Deer, and South Saskatchewan basins
  4. Note: Water Use = Consumption + Losses
  5. Water scarcity in the south threatens availability of traditional fresh water supplies for oilfield operations Pressure on the industry will increase to collaborate for greater overall economic and social benefit for Albertans Sector plan for 30% water conservation is expected and may be mandated under W4L ENGOs will significantly increase legal and lobby activities, especially for oil sands Government oversight will increase
  6. As the forecast shows, the greatest challenge to achieving the goal of fresh water neutrality will be the continuing demand growth of the oil sands mining, which is forecast to more than double from 2007 to 2020.
  7. Preliminary Results Collaborative solutions can result in significant Environmental Net Effect and economic benefits.
