Effects of Climate Change on Water Resources
“Canada’s large oil sands reserves are expected
to bring the nation prosperity and energy
security. Their importance is becoming
increasingly prominent as the conventional oil
reserves are depleted, and as a result of the
current political tensions and the associated
high oil price in the world. Oil production from
the oil sands, however, requires large water
volumes (three barrels water to one barrel of
oil), and climate change impacts on water
supply is an unappreciated but potentially
serious threat to Canada's oil production.”
