Canada has the world's largest source of freshwatermost freshwater of any country in the world - approximately 800 square kilometres of the country's territory is covered by rivers and lakes.
The way it's written isn't wrong, but I think it would sound more correct/natural if it was written this way (unless there is a single lake or river in Canada that is considered the world's largest source of freshwater - in that case, I would split this sentence into two separate sentences, rather than using a dash). Canada has the largest amount of freshwater in the world, but that freshwater is not all coming from one "source" in Canada (it is coming from the many lakes and rivers, rather than one big lake or river). I hope this makes sense! I think you could also say "Canada is the world's largest source of freshwater" and leave the rest of the sentence the way it is.
