Future Supply

In recent years, the issue of Canadian water exports has assumed a prominent position on the policy agenda of both Canada and the United States. As water supplies in several western states of the U.S.A. have been increasingly depleted over the past three decades, the threat of a water crisis has raised interest in the possibility of diverting Canadian waters, originating presumably in the Great Lakes Basin. While the beginning of the 1980s has already witnessed a number of heated debates over Great Lakes water transfers, the signing of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement on the 2nd of January 1988, revives the polemic since it is viewed by some as a new menace to the future supply of Canadian waters. The present paper, which is divided in two parts, begins with an examination of a number of events which have raised significant concern about the prospect of major water transfers from the Great Lakes Basin, the latest being the conclusion of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement. It then analyses the legal effects of the Agreement on Canadian water resources. This study concludes that there is nothing in the deal to suggest that Canada has in any way conceded future access to its water resources to the United States.

The International Joint Commission (IJC) is an independent agency that guides Canada and the United States on how to settle disputes involving their 13 transboundary river basins. The IJC’s river basin management methods can be evaluated by using 10 principles, and its techniques can be modelled by other international transboundary water organisations. The 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement serves as a case study that demonstrates how the IJC responds to situations in an immense and historically disputed basin.
