Water and energy: A symbiotic relationship

Can we manage water in the west?

What's the future of ferry travel?

Desalination: Where the water crisis meets energy

Could Canada produce more waterpower?

A medium sized open pit mine may use and recycle eight million gallons of water every day for basic operations. So, where does it come from?

To increase water reliability in the western United States, water agencies are building new dams and expanding existing reservoirs. Will it be enough?

Ferries are a critical transportation method for many communities near bodies of water. How can we make them more sustainable?

Desalination can provide communities in need with clean, safe drinking water. But can we decarbonize the process?

Canada’s commitment to net zero by 2035 has researchers asking: How big of a role will waterpower play?

From record high temperatures to unexpected snow, hurricanes to droughts, extreme weather is wreaking havoc on our energy and resources infrastructure. This issue showcases how the industry is working to keep the power on and our resources intact.
