GEOG 310 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Gulf Stream, Water Cycle, Wicked Problem
Document Summary
-> not necessarily because we don"t have enough water, but because how we manage it (i. e. more people have less access to safe water, there is not enough water equality) There are more people living under high "water stress" --> when there are challenges to the availability of water. Without access to water, it means that people will be displaced (would also lead to conflict, migration and other issues) Canada --> overstates our water resources that we actually have, this is because there are increasing permanent boil water advisories (i. e. in. First nation communities that declared a state of emergency with their increase in boil water advisories, lead to an intervention by an. International organization - red cross, rather than national or provincial intervention) There is global water stress that is most likely to get worse in the future --> it is one of the key wicked problems we need to solve, as it affects population growth, economic costs.
