OTTAWA _ Canada`s stores of fresh water are not as plentiful as once thought, and water shortages threaten to pinch the economy and pit provinces against each other, says a newly released document.An internal report drafted last December by Environment Canada warns that climate change and a growing population will further drain resources.We can no longer take our extensive water supplies for granted, says the report, titled A Federal Perspective on Water Quantity Issues.The Canadian Press obtained the 21-page draft report under the Access to Information Act.It suggests the federal government take a more hands-on role in managing the country`s water, which is now largely done by the provinces. OTTAWA still manages most of the fresh water in the North through water boards.However, the report says the government currently does not know enough about the country`s water to properly manage it.Canada lacks sound information at a national scale on the major uses and user(s) of water, the report says.National forecasting of water availability has never been done because traditionally our use of the resource was thought to be unlimited.Canada has a fifth of the world`s supply of fresh water, but only seven per cent of it is renewable. The rest comes from ice-age glaciers and underground aquifers.One per cent of Canada`s total water supply is renewed each year by precipitation, the report says.Moreover, government data on the country`s grou ...

A researcher at Carleton University in OTTAWA is looking hard for an insect that could potentially control a destructive European weed invading the OTTAWA area. Dog-strangling vine or pale swallowwort is native to Russia. It is harmless to dogs but does kill the plants around it by changing the acidity of the soil. Carleton University biologist Naomi Cappuccino suspects the vine was introduced to the OTTAWA area by botanists who found the plant interesting. Unfortunately, there are no organisms native to the region that eat the plant, so its spread has been hard to control. It is now pushing into Gatineau Park, across the OTTAWA River, and has been spotted as far away as Kingston. Cappucino and her students have been searching for the past five years for a European insect that could do the job. She said a root-feeding beetle from Russia and two leaf-chewing caterpillars look promising, but scientists must do about five more years of research to ensure the insects won’t also harm North American plants. Cappucino said a similar approach was successful at controlling purple loosestrife, another invasive plant that was a big problem 15 years ago, before two beetles that feed on loosestrife were introduced. “If you go walking through the greenbelt areas west of town you’ll notice places where there used to be huge purple strands of purple loosestrife,” she said. “And now you’ve just got these little ratty, bitten plants that are all just e ...
