A gaggle of environmental organizations and municipalities is fearful that Quebec’s groundwater reserves are dwindling because the province consumes extra water than is being replenished.
Quebec holds three per cent of the world’s renewable freshwater reserves.
Environmental teams like Eau Secours say local weather change and concrete sprawl are threatening this provide.
The teams are calling on the federal government to set off a provincewide analysis and enhance regulation.
The teams instructed the provincial setting minister in a letter that these most affected might be farmers and residents in rural areas who rely on groundwater for each day consumption.
Quebec Setting Minister Pascale Déry says she wants extra information earlier than commenting on the problem.
