Water and sanitations for the world started in 2016 is expected to be completed by 2030. The total in expenses is estimated to be about $114 billion per year.

However, the international organization did say in prior reports that nearly 6 billion people will suffer from clean water and scarcity by 2050.

But the numbers do all depend on how citizens across the world value water.

On the other hand, BC Hydro is using World Water Day to review their water sustainability.

“We are committed to reviewing our water use plans, so we’ve just started that process. It will probably take about a decade to just carefully review each plan around our system, and come up with some revisions that are meaningful,” says Community Relations Manager Gammer

He further explains BC Hydro’s sustainability process . . .

“So we have a water use planning process that years ago that years ago established plans we filed with the office of the comptroller of water rights for British Columbia. The comptroller issued orders which dictate how we operate our reservoirs at our facilities, dams and generating stations”

Gammer says that BC Hydro works closely with First Nations, local communities around reservoirs, and government agencies that are also responsible for water usage.
