Calgary, Alta — Wolseley Canada is investing $10,000 in Living Lake Canada’s Oldman Watershed Groundwater program.
“Wolseley Waterworks is proud to support Living Lakes Canada in their work to identify groundwater sources,” said Jason Larner, general manager of Waterworks, Western Canada at Wolseley Canada. “Safeguarding our groundwater aquifers will help with sustainable water use and ensure future generations have access to freshwater.”
This pilot project aims to serve as a template for developing a provincial framework to monitor priority groundwater aquifers in the Oldman Watershed in Southwestern Alberta. Wolseley’s donation is set to fund research to understand the importance of groundwater knowledge in Alberta.
As stated in the press release, “Groundwater plays a vital role in supplying drinking water to Canadians while also supporting agricultural production. As changing climates create water scarcity, there is a critical need to understand this freshwater source.”
