Breaking boundaries in water research

This week the Water Institute hosts the last The Value of Water in Canada webinar. Since its inception and launch in early 2022, the webinar series has provided a valuable platform for thought-provoking discussions on the value of water and water valuation. Bringing together economists, water resource managers, researchers, water protection advocates, consultants and private and public sector practitioners, the series explored cutting-edge practices and the growing demand for water valuation insights across various industry sectors.
