New address, look and feel coming!
Heads-up! We’re changing!
We will shortly be changing our name to the Canada WaterPortal and will be launching a new look and feel on our website. We’re very excited about it!
Our new site has a modern look and gives you better functionality on all your devices. Also, our new site navigation will make it easier for you to find what you’re looking for, and, perhaps, the content you didn’t know you wanted!
So, if we look different on your next visit to the site, don’t panic. Settle back, grab your beverage of choice and start browsing our new site.
It’s still us. But now formally recognising all our non-Alberta users!
