Residents of Quebec will soon be encouraged to turn off their water taps. Quebecers use more water than any other province in Canada.

On Monday, the provincial government announced new rules to control this overconsumption. Towns in the province will have to measure their water consumption and come up with a plan to cut back.

The rules include installing equipment to detect and fix water leaks, using water meters, and submitting a yearly water report.

The Quebec government estimates this will reduce water production by 20 percent. This will save $2 billion over 20 years.

A plane crash was averted when the landing gear was deployed at the very last second Sunday. The front landing gear of a Bombardier aircraft did not deploy on the first landing. It was forced to try again. This time it worked. Only moments before the plane would have teetered on its nose in a crash.

Similar incidents have become alarmingly frequent with Bombardier airplanes across several continents. Incidents have multiplied over the last few months. Bombardier is investigating the developing landing-gear problems.
