Old pipelines and water treatment plants are the top risk in contaminating in First Nation communities causing water advisory

In San Cristóbal de las Casas, Fracking is happening around that area too which is using water around them

Fracking and Agriculture both use a large amount of water

Coca-Cola pays a disproportionately small amount for its water privileges — about 10 cents per 260 gallons. Coke uses so much water overall in the world. If one plant can use this much water, how much do they use overall?

Canada's fresh water is under threat of Fracking by using millions of liters per rig, and contaminating the water

Coca-Cola Facility has permits to take 300,000 gallons of water a day, with Coca-Cola taking water out of the community’s water which is making them drink Coke.

Residence of San Cristóbal de las Casas don’t have access water, So they drink Coca-Cola Everyday

.Fracking is not an efficient way of using water

If their are Microplastics in fresh water is not not healthy to consume, they get consumed by fish and we eat the fish and it makes us sick

A research team at McGill found that on average there were 5.08 particles per 500 millilitres of water for particles more than 100 microns, while the average for particles less than 100 microns jumped to 725.12 per 500 millilitres. All this plastic is not good for our ecosystem and humans

Microplastics are tiny shards of plastic less than five millimetres in length. They can come from a variety of sources: daily wear and tear of tires, washing clothes that have plastic fibres or the breakdown of plastic bottles and bags.

Microplastics have been found in almost every environment on the planet, and according to a Marketplace investigation, they are also in Canada's leading bottled water brands.

We also underestimate the interconnected nature of water infrastructure. For example, a failure in the water supply will have an immediate impact on the health sector and the economy. We lose time and money when we need to stay home to be sick or care for sick family.

Risks facing Canada's Water

Old pipelines and water treatment plants are the top risk in contaminating and wasting water

Fresh water systems in Canada are in danger under threats such as aging infrastructure, climate change causing floods and droughts, contamination due to hydraulic fracking

Fracking wells sometimes leak and get into drinking water and contaminants it, getting people sick and methane coming out of sinks

The water after fracking can't go back in the environment which is a huge waste of million litres of water, it justs sits out in the open where wildlife

Fracking is a technique to blast a mixture of water, chemicals and sand into a well to break apart the rock formations and release previously inaccessible oil and natural gas deposits. Most fracking today is done in conjunction with horizontal drilling. An average Fracking rig uses 5-100 million liters.

due to the dedicated efforts of governments and NGOs since the 1992 Earth Summit, safe drinking water has been made available to some 1.7 billion people around the world, with projects ranging from modern piped plumbing to rainwater collection and storage.

Seventy percent of all the water we use globally is for agriculture, so that's where we first have to become a lot more efficient through methods like drip irrigation and growing crops that are more suitable to the local climate

Millions of people die each year, most of them children, from largely preventable diseases such as cholera and dysentery, caused by a lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation

Lack of funding on First Nation reserves causing water advisories leading to people getting sick from drinking water

Justin Trudeau’s father tried to erase the Indian problem through the Liberals 1969 White Paper, where he advocated no Indian Act, no reserves, no Indians and no more treaties

400 of 600 First Nation communities were under at least one water advisory between 2004-20014.
