Canada's military holds a world record.

Let's calmly talk about America not stealing water.

“We have to go in and take the ~~oil~~ water.”

This isn’t gonna mix well with the BC public.

Antweiler added that there is a lot that California can and should do to manage their water sources, including the use of water in agriculture.

One suggestion I would make to California and BC is to limit animal agriculture water use as 1kg of beef uses 15,415 litres of water to produce.

I hate your comment but love your source. There’s no perspective when you say 1 kg of beef uses 15415 L of water to produce. Is that a lot? Is that a little?

Your source puts that into perspective - it’s a lot. But I wish they’d put it into calories/L of water. I don’t eat based on kg of food. I eat based on kcal and nutrition

Yeah BC, send us your water.💦 don’t be stingy!

Based on BC’s traditional water mismanagement and the rapid loss of glacial water due to global warming, pretty soon parts of BC are going to be running an annual water deficit. And that’s before we even get into wildfires.

California should shift to plant-based agriculture, install bidets to reduce water needed to grow trees, install water leak detectors along water pipelines, grow produce intended for the climate and implement more rain water collection systems as there are many efficiencies that could be made without resorting the need of water from other jurisdictions

And revamp their antiquated water rights system.
