Canada1Water - Water Resources Modelling for Climate Change Adaptation

The Canada1Water (C1W) project is a pioneering initiative dedicated to advancing water resource management amidst the climate crisis. Using revolutionary modelling techniques and cutting-edge technology designed by Aquanty Inc., Canada1Water assesses the impacts of climate change on Canadian water resources through comprehensive climate/land/hydrologic simulations.

  • • Using a comprehensive modelling framework integrating results from land surface modelling, dynamically downscaled regional climate models, and physics-based groundwater—surface-water modelling, C1W represents the world’s most ambitious and physically realistic effort to model the water cycle at continental scales

    • All model inputs published through an intuitive and user-friendly web-portal designed and maintained by Aquanty, providing Canadian environmental professionals with a detailed geological and hydrological conceptual framework for any region of interest across the country

    • Monthly normal hydrologic simulations to inform water resources planners and policy makers of long-term climate driven trends in groundwater levels, stream flow rates, soil moisture and surface water levels at mid- and end-century

  • • C1W supports the sustainable management of Canadian water resources by modelling the complete water cycle across the Country, providing communities of all sizes (including remote and under-resourced communities) with the ability to project future water scenarios. Stakeholders in virtually every sector will have no-cost, unfettered access to high-quality datasets for a wide range of use cases.

    • “Canada1Water represents a truly 21st century advancement in integrated climate-surface-groundwater modelling capabilities to assess water resource vulnerabilities across the Canadian landscape. Not only within Canada, but it lays out a science-based roadmap for scientific communities and government agencies around the globe.” Dr. Ed Sudicky, FCAE, FRSC

  • Traditional water resources engineering has historically relied on compartmentalized models that address specific aspects of the hydrological cycle. However, as we navigate through an era marked by unprecedented environmental challenges and the increasing complexity of water systems, it has become evident that a more comprehensive and integrated strategy is required. Fortunately, simulation tools like HydroGeoSphere (HGS) have been rapidly improving, and in the evolving landscape of water resources engineering an integrated approach to hydrologic modelling has emerged as the way of the future!
