Expert alert: Water issues in Quebec
黑料不打烊 researcher Peter Enright an expert on water pollution and hydrology
Water has become a pressing issue as Montrealers sweat through the hottest summer in memory. The Yamaska River has been tainted by pollution, and local residents are afraid to swim. Meanwhile, city officials want to introduce water meters to dissuade people from wasting this vital resource. Is Montreal's water supply going to be a growing concern in coming years?
