The primary objective of Environment Canada's Freshwater Website is to instill in Canadians a knowledge and understanding of the nature and extent of freshwater in Canada in the hope that they will recognize the need to value this precious resource and will be motivated to take action to conserve and protect it in their homes, schools, industries, businesses and communities. This web site provides information about the management of water, water policy and legislation, the nature of water (including ground water, aquatic ecosystems, wetland, lakes, water and climate, etc.), and relevant publication, glossary, news, etc.
