Water Consumption: Industrial Water Consumption, 1999

Water Consumption: Industrial Water Consumption, 1999 The industrial sector represents 16% of total freshwater consumption. The amount used reflects population distribution to some degree, but the high values in some watersheds far from the largest cities reflects the occurrence of resource-processing, a heavy user of water. In most cases, these facilities (mainly in the forest industry) were specifically located so as to be close to large water supplies. 2022-03-14 Natural Resources Canada geoinfo@nrcan.gc.ca Economics and IndustryInformation and Communicationsaquatic ecosystemsmapwater use Download the English JP2 File through HTTPJP2 https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas_6_ed/eng/673_industrial_water_consumption_1999.jp2 Download the English ZIP (PDF,JPG) file through HTTPZIP https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas_6_ed/eng/673_industrial_water_consumption_1999.zip Download the French JP2 File through HTTPother https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas_6_ed/fra/673_consommation_industrielle_eau_1999.jp2 Download the French ZIP (PDF, JPG) File through HTTPZIP https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas_6_ed/fra/673_consommation_industrielle_eau_1999.zip
