About this book
Freshwater is in great supply across much of Canada. However, competing and changing demands on its use are leading to ever more complex political arrangements. This volume offers an integrated survey of that complexity, combining historical and contemporary cases in a conceptually-informed exploration of water politics.

Reviews
Carolyn Johns, Ryerson University:
Freshwater Politics in Canada is a welcome addition to the literature on water politics in Canada. Readers from a wide range of backgrounds will appreciate the focus on freshwater issues in concrete settings and how water politics plays out in a number of key policy subsectors and watersheds across the country. The case studies in this book illustrate how the interplay of biophysical features, socioeconomic conditions, and power relations at the local and regional scales are critical for understanding water politics in Canada.
