Subject:
climate change; climate models; ecosystems; groundwater; groundwater recharge; rivers; rural areas; snowmelt; stakeholders; summer; urban population; water management; water supply; New Brunswick; Nova Scotia; Ontario; Prince Edward Island; Quebec
Abstract:
... In Eastern Canada, groundwater is the main water supply for most of the rural regions and in many large urban communities. An understanding of the impacts of climate change on this resource is crucial for sustainable water management in this region. The objectives of this paper was to summarize the state of knowledge about possible climate change impacts on groundwater dynamics in Eastern Canada, ...

Subject:
computer software; watersheds; Canada
Abstract:
... R is an open-source statistical language that is supported by a large user community with many benefits for use in watershed analysis. R has been used widely in the Canadian research community and Canadian researchers have contributed numerous R packages with specific applications (e.g. seas, GEVcdn, RHtests, tidyhydat, FlowScreen). Here a new R package, CSHShydRology, is introduced that combines ...

Abstract:
... The flow-diverted Nechako River is the second largest tributary of the Fraser River which drains 25% of mainland British Columbia, Canada. The watershed provides critical reproductive habitats for anadromous chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and sockeye salmon (O. nerka) and year-round habitat for the endangered Nechako white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) population. In this study, th ...

Landsat; algae; basins; biomass; chlorophyll; drought; historical records; hydrologic data; hydrologic factors; lakes; pollution load; prairies; rivers; spring; summer; temperature; Rocky Mountain region; Saskatchewan
Abstract:
... Hydrological drought as characterized by low river inflow rate (IR), and, in turn, low water level (WL) and greater water residence time (WRT), may support greater algal biomass and blooms in lakes. Lake Diefenbaker (LD), a large mesotrophic reservoir on the Canadian Prairies, receives ∼98% of its inflow from the South Saskatchewan River (SSR). The SSR annual flow volume largely varies with precip ...

Abstract:
... Drought projections on seasonal to annual time scales are presented for Canada over the twenty-first century, based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Results make use of bias-corrected temperature and precipitation projections from 29 global climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), and include three different forcin ...

Subject:
air temperature; calibration; climate change; evaporation; landscapes; meteorological data; models; water management; watersheds; Ontario
Abstract:
... Development of appropriate water management strategies in the context of projected air temperature increases under a changing climate necessitates assessing how increases in atmospheric demand for water might constrain future water availability. This is most easily assessed using estimates of potential evaporation (PE). Most temperature-based methods for estimating PE have been calibrated in diffe ...

data analysis; drainage; equations; geometry; streams; watersheds; Ontario
Abstract:
... An important first step in channel restoration design is determining appropriate bankfull dimensions. However, bankfull indicators are often absent or unreliable in creeks needing restoration. To help solve this problem, this study developed a series of regional curves for selected hydrophysiographic regions of southern Ontario where the principal controls on channel form, such as surface geology ...
