From Soviet-style schemes such as the 1960s Grand Canal proposal to divert James Bay water to the United States, to more recent commercial plans to ship water from Newfoundland's Gisborne Lake and Ontario's Lake Superior, dozens of failed attempts to export water have generated thousands of pages of debate.
Monday 01 September 2008 Freshwater exports for the development of Quebec’s blue gold

August 27, 2008 / by Marcel Boyer Fresh water is a product whose relative economic value has risen substantially and will keep rising in the coming years. It has become a growing source of wealth and an increasingly worthwhile investment opportunity. Without better management of this resource, the emergence of water distress can be expected in many highly populated areas of the world. This study aims to present a general portrait of the possibilities open to Quebec in selling and exporting fresh water, to assess Quebec’s competitive advantage and potential in this regard and to define the role and responsibilities that the existence of this potential imposes.
