What comes to mind when we think of Canada? Hockey (played on frozen freshwater), rivers and lakes and of course maple syrup (fresh water with natural sugar). Canada is truly a land rich in freshwater! The country holds a large portion of the planet’s accessible freshwater; roughly three billion cubic meters. In a world suffering of water scarcity, this is a strategic resource.

Abundant fresh water has been used to drive water intensive industries such as pulp and paper and mining. This is where Kemira has found a useful role in improving the water quality and quantities consumed in Canadian industry.
