Canada moves to beef up cross-border water laws
Canada plans to beef up measures to protect its massive stores of fresh water, unveiling legislation on Thursday that would strengthen prohibitions on bulk water removal, particularly on rivers that cross into the United States. If passed, the law would create new powers of inspection and introduce fines of up to C$6 million ($5.9 million) for companies that try to export and sell water.
