[All] Canadian Water Network

[Susan Koswan]

Hi GRENers,

Has anyone ever had any dealings with the Canadian Water Network?

Met up with some acquaintances last night (mostly health-related
professions) and they were talking about the terrible things that are in the
Grand River - artificial sweeteners and oestrogen in particular. With such a
vast number of water professionals in our neck of the woods, you'd think the
Grand and our acquifers would be pristine and state of the art. Instead, we
still have toxic sediments and the residuals of Crompton etc fouling the
system, a water-treatment system that can do nothing for chemical pollutants
and an aged wastewater treatment system that cannot handle chemical
pollutants and seriously needs to be upgraded (although I understand that is
in the works). 

 

Perhaps the conversation is happening and work is being done between the
researchers and our decision makers and I just don't know about it, but if
it isn't, should it be a high priority for GREN to be a conduit for that
conversation? 

 

I don't feel like buying an RO system...

 

Thanks,

Susan K
