While true from a broad national perspective\, some parts experience water shortages\, particularly the prairies and the North. We must also be mindful of severe water shortages\, and lack of access to wat er and sanitation facilities\, in the developing world. One billion people lack adequate access to safe drinking water\, and 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. Even worse\, about 1.8 million children die annually from dise ases caused by unclean water and poor sanitation. This presentation will e xplore the root causes of today's global water crisis\, and describe poten tial roles for Canada in breaking down the barriers to poverty and disease caused by water insecurity.\n DTSTART:20070122T230000Z DTEND:20070122T230000Z LOCATION:Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Water\, water everywhere - but not a drop to drink! - Chandra Madra mootoo\, Dean\, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences URL:/channels/event/water-water-everywhere-not-drop-dr ink-chandra-madramootoo-dean-faculty-agricultural-and-environmenta-23403 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
