Bridging the Connection between Indigenous Water Treatment Operators
About us
Water Movement fills a void in an often-fragmented industry and bridges the connection between Indigenous water treatment operators whose work is vital to the health and well-being of countless communities. It provides a collaborative online space where operators can connect, share lessons learned and access training videos that act as educational tools. In addition to providing resources and an interactive collaboration zone for those in the industry, Water Movement also seeks to raise awareness among the next generation of water leaders. The free program connects with youth through virtual workshops for students of all ages. It’s designed to educate kids about water in Canada, careers in engineering and the water sector.

🔥 What Happens to Water During Wildfires? 💧 Wildfires don’t just devastate forests—they impact our water too. Ash and debris contaminate rivers and reservoirs, while firefighting efforts drain local water sources. Droughts caused by wildfires can also leave communities with less water to rely on. 💡 Water operators are essential, working tirelessly to remove toxins and sediments from water supplies, ensuring safe water for everyone even in the midst of a crisis. Protecting our forests means protecting our water. Support sustainable land and water management practices to safeguard both. 🌱

⛳ The Dark Side of Golf Courses 🌊 Golf courses may look green, but their water use and environmental impact tell a different story. An average course uses 1 million liters of water daily, enough to sustain a small community. Fertilizers and pesticides often seep into groundwater, creating challenges for water operators, who work tirelessly to treat contaminated water and ensure safe drinking water for nearby communities. 💡 The solution? Support courses that recycle water, limit chemical use, and adopt native landscaping to reduce water consumption. Golf can be green in more ways than one! 🌱
