“Water quality in 1,700 small and rural communities across Canada – some as close as half an hour drive from a major metropolitan area such as Vancouver – can be as bad or worse than that in developing countries,” says Madjid Mohseni, a professor in chemical and biological engineering at the University of British Columbia. “For example, nearly 100 First Nations communities live under permanent boil water advisories.”
