Discussion Paper on Climate Change – EBR 012-3452 – ORA Submission

Climate change will impose some of its greatest effects on both the long-term availability and the short-term variability of water resources in many regions of this province.

These effects have created havoc on municipal waste water treatment facilities that were never built with climate change in mind.
