Question

Water pollution is a major problem resulting from the ______ industry in eastern Alberta, Canada.

Answer 1

Hint: the industry is vital to the U.S. economy.

The massive oil sands in Alberta are a tremendously profitable industrial operation. Oil harvested from them ends up around the world, but especially in the United States.

Many environmental groups are concerned about the increasing water pollution of the Athabasca and of the groundwater supply.
