    British Columbia gets its water from several different sources.  Most of the state is rugged mountains that get several feet of snow every winter.  The snow melts in the summertime into countless streams and rivers that run to the Pacific Ocean.  The water is pure and delicious!  In many places, it is dammed to create hydroelectricity and the water is piped to populated areas.  In fact, part of the province gets so much rain every year, it is classified as Temperate Rain Forest. 

    I don't think anybody in British Columbia is lacking for water!
