- Description
- A winter scene with dominant colours of white, green, blue, grey, and black. The foreground, which is more than half the painting, is comprised of snow, ice, shadows, two sections of the creek starting from viewer’s left, with one bush and one coniferous tree to viewer’s far middle right. The dark water of the creek is visible from the bush at the right, flows under the ice and snow, and then reappears at the left-hand centre of the painting and flows to the viewer’s left hand corner of the painting. The top-third of the painting is a bank of coniferous trees, sparsely painted on the left, becoming larger and darker towards middle and then lighter on the right as the trees further back rise to the mountain range in the background. Snow and clouds obscure the mountain tops. The sky is light grey and white.

- Abstract
- Canada is usually considered to be a country with abundant freshwater, but in its western prairie provinces (WPP), an area 1/5 the size of Europe, freshwater is scarce. European settlement of the WPP did not begin until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Fortuitously, the period since European settlement appears to have been the wettest century of the past two millennia. The frequent, long periods of drought that characterized earlier centuries of the past two millennia were largely absent in the 20th century. Here, we show that climate warming and human modifications to catchments have already significantly reduced the flows of major rivers of the WPP during the summer months, when human demand and in-stream flow needs are greatest. We predict that in the near future climate warming, via its effects on glaciers, snowpacks, and evaporation, will combine with cyclic drought and rapidly increasing human activity in the WPP to cause a crisis in water quantity and quality with far-reaching implications.
