In November 2012, a group of researchers came together at Queen?s University with the idea that it is more illuminating and constructive to think about water as an opportunity. Water as a Social Opportunity conveys the idea that the ways in which society responds to water-related challenges has the potential to yield a variety of positive outcomes not just for water, or the economy, but for society more broadly. Contributors consider water issues across Canada from this original perspective, and suggest this concept as a basis for developing a long-overdue national water strategy in Canada. 410 0$aQueen's policy studies. 606 $aWater-supply$xSocial aspects$zCanada 606 $aWater-supply$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aWater quality management$xSocial aspects$zCanada 607 $aCanada$2fast 615 0$aWater-supply$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWater-supply$xGovernment policy 615 0$aWater quality management$xSocial aspects 676 $a333.9100971 702 $aDavidson$b Seanna L. 702 $aLinton$b Jamie 702 $aMabee$b Warren E. 712 02$aQueen's University (Kingston, Ont.).$bSchool of Policy Studies, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811987903321 996 $aWater as a social opportunity$94004959 997 $aUNINA
