If you had read what David Schindler said about water supplies and the impact of climate change in Alberta he said declining and disappearing glaciers will have an impact especially in summer and fall after the spring snow melt declines.
So yes there will be a severe seasonal shortages of river water. And then add in the increased risk and increased intensity of heat and drought and Alberta water supplies will be at risk along with all the ecological impacts.
Reducing consumption is also important. So maybe irrigation farmers will be giving up some of their subsidized water allocations so that Calgary has enough water.
And just like Steve Harper said, Canada needs to stop burning fossil fuels too.
