Critical - we live in an area with a very low water table and I've often wondered what the maximum sustainable population of Southern Alberta is. Calgary has a huge impact on this.
It should absolutely be a focus of both municipal and provincial governments.
My entire job right now is dealing with water regulations and finding source water for an industrial use (SAGD production). This is an an apparently "water abundant" area, with a resource that has been known for generations - yet the government is only forming serious frameworks about its use and allocation now.
Alberta is way behind the curve in regulation and promotion of water recycling and conservation measures in my opinion.
