- In Alberta, Communities and industries are being warned to prepare for possible water shortages in the coming months, as the province battles historic droughts.
The snowfall across the prairies is a welcome sight, but the situation remains dire after a hot and dry 2023 - and the outlook for this year is no better.
Heather Yourex-West reports on the urgent need for planning and action to address the looming water crisis.

Canada is losing everything that was good about it at an impressive pace
💯
What is it that was good?
@@Mxh79i58 Lots of fresh water, for a start.

Yeah let’s add millions more brownies😂
Your drought map is mainly in BC. Why is this about Alberta?
Climate Change affects the "Globe".
they hate alberta for daring to stand up to the fed gov
@@brightlight3520yup!

YOU hate alberta Everyone else Loves Canada

yeah,..well,..if you Knew anything friend,...YOU would KNOW that the last 2 DECADES have exhibited a 60% reduction in the stored water capacity of this CONTINENT,...
let that sink in friend.
The Fires we saw last year will be DWARFED by what burns this year,...i hope i'm wrong.
Science is REAL friend, The Climate has already changed dramatically,...
It does NOT matter to me what you believe friend,...
YOU have every right to remain stupid and foolish,....
Ignorance can be cured, maybe just adjust YOUR Sources of information a bit to realize the extreme DANGER we are ALL headed into.
Yup, and based on her comments, smith will allocating water to oil companies and have farmers cut back on water. So expectfood prices to increase.
We've got water for another hundred years, nothing to worry about. And we don't need snow, we need sustained rain fall, 30cm of snow equals 3cm of rain.
Beautiful. Lessons will be learned in 2024 & those who don’t learn the lesson, will be having, "ugly” years to come forever.
It’s January…it could be 4 feet deep in 2 weeks
Or rain in the spring and summer.
I imagine they can predict the weather and what is coming or not coming by now
@@RedspottedbugI know they can't predict what the weather will be tomorrow. I guess predicting one day in advance is a lot tougher then predicting 6 months in advance. What do you think?
@@EyeSee4.8 I think they CAN predict the weather because THEY control the weather , right after Danielle Smith went head to head with turd blow , we all of a sudden didn’t get any snow ………..and all of a sudden there were wildfires all over Alberta . I don’t know , and I don’t care any more
we need a network of dams and lakes to store more water
The sky is falling.
what do you mean?
@@-LightningRod- Go upstairs and ask your parents
As a sidenote to keep in mind. Within the process of fracking, each well consumes approximately 20 million gallons of fresh water which cannot be cleaned and reused it is simply pumped deep down.
And tar sands are steamed to remove the bitumen.
Leviticus 26: 3-6
If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them, 4 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 Your threshing shall last to the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest shall last to the time for sowing. And you shall eat your bread to the full and dwell in your land securely. 6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will remove harmful beasts from the land, and the sword shall not go through your land.
AMEN!!!
Making sacrifices to a pagan god in order to get the rain to fall seems so very 5,000 BC.
@@briandesormeau2643you wouldn't understand
@@centuryhousegames733 lol. I understand the desire to have a god solve your problems because you can't stand on your own two feet. Relying on yourself, not on some invisible sky-father, is how the modern world works, but...
You wouldn't understand.
Water shortage is on my 2024 Bingo Card! X it out!
What else is on the card ?
Alberta premier she is busy fighting the federal government instead of working for people of Alberta. Hospitals and ER is disaster in Alberta
El Niño …thought it was Climate Change 😂
it isCl;imate Change friend, even if you don't "believe" it
@@-LightningRod-not from fossil fuels libby
@@mr.makedonija2627
you shoulda stayed in school friend, ...
there is absolutely ZERO Question about the effect of Burning 100 million barrels a day of Oil,..
it is stupid and foolish NOT to acknowledge this simple fact.
So you believe in El Niño? Why? That comes from the same scientists that tell you the Earth is warming. I guess you just pick and choose the science you wanna believe😂😅
@@bobwoods1302 actually you and Greta do …. bought and paid for science just like the pandemic so call scientific “experts”
Propaganda
FYPP
Don't worry!! Green energy and decarbonizing with fix this 😂😂😂
I wonder if they believe in Karma now?
@@MartinMartin-yi9to
What does karma have to do w this?
@@firstandforemost87 Google Karma.
More carbon, more humidity.
Any update on Dylan butler that your viewers should know about ?
There is an absolutely “ free “ solution to the water shortage or drought problem that Canada has, & in this case is being sadly overlooked.
The “ beaver “ any place that has a creek, put some beaver’s there & let them go to work, plus, most importantly, give them the space to do what they do naturally. Problem solved !!! Your welcome !

61% of the alberta wildfires were human started. Not “climate change”. Keep that in mind
Exactly!! Unfortunately they hid your comment and not everyone knows to click newest to see all comments
@@centuryhousegames733 sounds about right
@@centuryhousegames733
Oooo...
Makes you wonder how fires started before humans were around.
Think of the fires we’re gonna have!
The fires that will be set
Agreed!!
@@ryeguy7941 👍
But Iv been paying my carbon tax for the last 8 years ? So I don’t understand why this is all
Happening ? Did we not make progress the last 8 years ? Do I need to pay more or what’s the deal ??
you really dont know?
stop BURNING oil friendthe TAX is only on the oil used
@@-LightningRod-
This is false…
Is this story from global BC?
Cuz from the map you guys show, it really looks like BC has it worse off than Alberta???
Time to build a Hoover dam project! Melt the snow in the Rockies!
Not a bad idea. But it's mostly already been done before WW2. Irrigation reservoirs and canals already capture quite a bit of spring flows.
@@chadparsons50 I am sure they can capture more. If the Americans can turn a desert to be livable. I am sure Albertans can make it happen. That’s awesome assuming Justin Trudeau doesn’t destroy your province before anything can be fixed :D
@@MrMannyhw God willing.
We should be building Water pipelines and not Oil/Gas lines.
I love oil and gas
So does Heat. We can't eat dust or Oil/Gas.@@centuryhousegames733
Canada has 2 million lakes and 8,500 rivers how is possible to have water shortages lol sounds like poor leadership to me
Many wealthy individuals maintain their wealth by adopting frugal spending habits similar to those of the less affluent. They also prioritize continuous investment, whereas some poorer individuals tend to spend extravagantly without focusing on long-term investments, often attempting to impress those who are already wealthy.
Good thing we know how to build johads and terraces right? 5 most epic earth healing video.
She nailed it... STAGED!
weather manipulation
People tend to forget about the other people who believe in a changing climate.
@@apextrollno, we don't forget, because we know it doesn't exist
@@centuryhousegames733 You are just one type of climate person. There are 4 other types: 1. People who believe it is real and natural, 2. People who believe it is real but prophetic, 3. People who believe it is real but caused from bad people(see above) and people who believe it is real but caused from human activity. You are a very vocal minority.
@@apextroll👍 good for me
Karma works in beautiful ways.
What the hell does that mean?
@@centuryhousegames733 Google it.
Oddly, last year, a WEF lady said they should go after the world's water next. Hmm.
At least this year's climate fires are being telegraphed early with groundwork like this. Dont let it be a surprise when they trot that pony out again. Will the 2024 climate fires show up 2 weeks earlier than 2023? It's the climate guys.
Great job selling the fear
But does the buyer hide or plan?
You scared? Do you need a safe space? It's OK let the adults handle this
What ? I pull snowflakes into the sunlight ? You're not a government employee , are you ? @@bobwoods1302
Deuteronomy 11: 13-14 And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil.
AMEN!!!
Again with the "make sacrifices to the child-god and the rain will fall" schtick. Give it up, your petulant godlet isn't going to make the rain fall because you made a pleasing sacrifice to it.
71% of the earth is water but Alberta has no water....mmmmmkay there.
Good thing carbon tax is rising April 1st..should help restore these issues
😂😂😂😂😂

now daddy take the T bird away
Don't forget to recycle friends everything will be fine 😺✌️
Danielle Smith has this taken care of in 2050 so,..no worries,...
There is no shortage of water in Alberta.
Sorry to burst your conspiracy bubble 😂 but yes there is a water shortage 😂 even the right-wing conspiracy nut Daniel Smith acknowledged it 😂
End of days anyone?
OK doomers 👍
Let me guess. Climate change is fake but CRT is real?😂😂
Quebec should pay for reparations
Yeah they should pay for all the floods they receive & will receive 😂 wth why?
Only if we paid the inept corrupt LPC more tax money to make the weather gooder 😢😂
This planet is 71% water. If there’s a water shortage it’s being artificially created. Who benefits from a water shortage? Do your jobs journos.
Most of that water we cant really use
The major oil companies are to blame. The oil sands use so much fresh water its disgusting.
pure lies and fabricated garbage 😂
Alberta must have crazy bad water, everybody out there seems to have no teeth. So its something environmental.
??
@@LouiseMakeupArt dont drink water in alberta or you will lose all your teeth.
@@michaella5799 😂 Are you drinking bong water again?
It’s true. When you cross the Alberta border or enter a national park the feds use their “free” dental program to extract all of your teeth. Trudeau wants Albertans to be toothless. Then he gives the extracted molars to Legault so all the maple sugar victims can chew their poutine again. That’s how transfer payments work.
