Canada is a country with abundant freshwater. A country that is spared the significant enduring droughts in the southern US and Australia. While Canada’s reality differs from those extremes, it is also changing, and Canadian agriculture should no longer take water for granted. The time is right to act proactively, and to shift to an approach driven by the need to both conserve and protect water but also leverage an increasingly critical resource.

At the core of this plan should be a strategy for sustainably managing and leveraging water for the agri-food sector. It further recommends that governments commit to ambitious outcomes, embrace shared responsibility, partner with stakeholders in agriculture and food, and prioritize this increasingly strategic, critical natural resource. Responsible water planning must recognize the strong relationship between water and agri-food in Canada.

The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act was passed in 1935 to help farmers recover from the drought and economic disaster of the 1930s. The PFRA targeted two outcomes: soil conservation (through cultural practices) and better water management. Between 1935 and 2000, the PFRA helped create 148,417 dugouts, 111,552 wells, 14,839 stock-watering dams, 10,723 irrigation projects, and 711 pipelines (Agri- Environment Services Branch, 2010, p. 4). The five-year agriculture policy frameworks (dark green) started in 2003 are included in this timeline because they included enhanced funding to promote water stewardship at the farm level. Funds are cost-shared with the provinces, with varying stewardship outcomes between provinces. In April 2023, the newest five-year agriculture policy framework took effect: the Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Partnership. Novel to this framework is the federal Resilient Agriculture Landscape Program (RALP), which subsidizes ecological goods and services (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 2023). Examples of water-related programs under the RALP are: protecting and treating livestock water; protecting riparian areas from cattle grazing; and planting trees to protect surface water sources (Alberta, 2023; Saskatchewan, 2023).

The answer was an assessment report by an expert panel, published in 2009 (Council of Canadian Academies, 2009). This report, along with another CCA report from 2013 about water in agriculture, was featured in CAPI’s October 2023 report, A Nat<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001oEz78BxESfKV9ughEGFntuNlLlYXHxlumV6HhjaTeiL…><https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001oEz78BxESfKV9ughEGFntuNlLlYXHxlumV6HhjaTeiL…>io<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001oEz78BxESfKV9ughEGFntuNlLlYXHxlumV6HhjaTeiL…>n<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001oEz78BxESfKV9ughEGFntuNlLlYXHxlumV6HhjaTeiL…>al Agri-Food Water Action Plan<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001oEz78BxESfKV9ughEGFntuNlLlYXHxlumV6HhjaTeiL…>. The report points to the importance of groundwater. It is the source of potable water for over 80% of Canada’s rural population. The report also highlights the growing number of threats to this water: urbanization, contamination from human activity (agriculture, mining, or poor quality control in rural wells), expansion of the energy sector, and climate variability. Although the knowledge exists to sustainably manage Canada’s groundwater, this knowledge is not being uniformly applied. Points raised by the panel include: · using the watershed or groundwatershed as the basis for water management; · a labour shortage in hydrology and groundwater science; · reaching consensus on groundwater data collection priorities and access to these data; · increasing the clarity and application of water legislation; · and integrated management of water. What currently exists is a patchwork of jurisdictional responsibilities which approach surface water, groundwater, water quality, and water quantity as separate and independent issues.

La Loi sur le rétablissement agricole des Prairies a été adoptée en 1935 pour aider les agriculteurs à se remettre de la sécheresse et de la catastrophe économique des années 1930. L’Administration du rétablissement agricole des Prairies (l’ARAP) a ciblé deux résultats: la conservation des sols (grâce à des pratiques culturelles), et une meilleure gestion de l’eau. Entre 1935 et 2000, l'ARAP a contribué à la création de 148 417 mares-réservoirs, 111 552 puits, 14 839 barrages d’abreuvement, 10 723 projets d’irrigation, et 711 systèmes d’approvisionnement en eau (Direction générale des services agroenvironnementaux, 2010, p. 5) . Les cadres stratégiques agricoles quinquennaux (vert foncé) lancés en 2003 sont inclus dans cette ligne de temps parce qu’ils comprenaient un financement accru pour promouvoir la gestion de l’eau à l’échelle de la ferme. Les coûts sont partagés entre le fédéral et le provincial, et les résultats varient d’une province à l’autre. En avril 2023, le plus récent cadre stratégique quinquennal pour l’agriculture est entré en vigueur: le Partenariat canadien pour une agriculture durable. Le Programme de paysages agricoles résilients (PPAR), qui subventionne les biens et services écologiques, est nouveau dans ce cadre (Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada, 2023) . Des exemples de subventions dans le cadre de ce programme sont: la protection et le traitement de l’eau du bétail, la protection des bandes riveraines adjacentes aux pâturages, ou la plantation d’arbres pour protéger les sources d’eau de surface (Alberta, 2023; Saskatchewan, 2023) .

La réponse a été un Rapport d'évaluation par un groupe d'experts, publié en 2009 (Conseil des académies canadiennes, 2009). Ce rapport, ainsi qu’un autre rapport du CAC de 2013 sur l’eau en agriculture, a été présenté dans le rapport d’octobre 2023 de l’ICPA, Un plan d’action national pour l’eau en agroalimentaire<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001oEz78BxESfKV9ughEGFntuNlLlYXHxlumV6HhjaTeiL…>. Le rapport relève l'importance des eaux souterraines. Elles sont la source d'eau potable pour plus de 80% de la population rurale du Canada. Le rapport cible aussi un nombre croissant de menaces sur ces eaux: l’urbanisation, la contamination par l'activité humaine (agriculture, exploitation minière, ou mauvais contrôle de la qualité des puits ruraux), l’expansion du secteur de l'énergie, et la variabilité du climat. Bien que l’on sache comment gérer de façon durable les eaux souterraines du Canada, les mesures et les connaissances ne sont pas appliquées uniformément. Les points soulevés dans le rapport sont les suivants: · la gestion de l’eau devrait être faite à l’échelle du bassin versant ou du bassin hydrogéologique; · il existe une pénurie de main-d'œuvre en hydrologie et en sciences des eaux souterraines; · il serait important de parvenir à un consensus sur les priorités en matière de collecte et accès aux données sur les eaux souterraines; · il serait également très important de clarifier les tâches entre les divers paliers des gouvernements pour éviter le dédoublement des ressources humaines et monétaires; · il y aurait avantage à avoir une gestion concertée de l'eau versus l’approche en silo actuelle qui isole les enjeux d’eau de surface, d’eau souterraine, de qualité, et de quantité d'eau, alors que sa gestion doit être vue dans son ensemble.
