Effects of Climate Change

Earth's climate is always changing. Many things can cause climate to change on its own. I believe that the Earth's temperature will keep going up and there would be more snow to melt and some places would get hotter. 

The most impact of climate change is how it will affect water resources around the world. Sandford, who chairs the Canadian Partnership Initiative of the UN Water for Life Decade, thinks that myth comes from misconceptions Canadians have about water. According to the National Post that Canada currently uses an average of 329 liters of water, per person and per day. Canada holds 20% of the world's water supply. According to the government of Saskatchewan that only 1% of the Earth's water is available for fresh drinking water.

Bottled water is a small but a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, it takes fuel to make plastic bottles and ship them around the country or the world. Even though you consider that bottled water is just a filtered tap water.

According to a recent survey, 32% of Canadians don't drink tap water at all and 41% of people don't treat their water in any way.

There's a lot we can do to reduce emissions, protect our water resources, and prevent climate change. Using less energy is a great way to start by turning off lights. Admit it that sometimes we leave the faucet open while brushing our teeth or while putting soap on to our hands or dishes, and it is considered as wasting water.

We need to conserve water by turning off the faucet while brushing our teeth or putting soap on to our hands or dishes, or like only run the dishwasher when there's a full load and wash your car with a pail of water and a sponge instead of using hose.

When it comes to water governance in Canada, the federal government has the authority related to fisheries and federal lands, including responsibilities to the management of boundary waters shared with United States. The federal government's role in water management in Canada. Within the federal government over 20 departments and agencies have responsibilities for fresh water. 
The government should protect and enhance our water resource and to promote the efficient and use of water.
