In September 2002, the National Water Research Institute and Meteorological Service of Canada organized a workshop in Victoria, B.C., to discuss threats to the availability of freshwater in Canada.
This workshop resulted in the report, Threats to Water Availability in Canada, a companion document to the 2001 report Threats to Sources of Drinking Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Health in Canada.
