The document summarizes the Northgate Water Master Plan Update for City Council. It notes that the previous 2010 plan underestimated development in the Northgate area. The 2013 update revises density projections and models water demands and system impacts. Hydraulic modeling shows the current system is sufficient with planned developments but more supply will be needed if growth continues rapidly. The recommendation is to construct a new 18-24" water line at an estimated $6.5 million to supply Northgate and the nearby Bio-Corridor as development progresses. Alternatives like new pumps or storage will be studied further in an FY14 master plan update.

This document summarizes a study on water infrastructure management in Harding, South Africa. The study developed a GIS database of the town's water network, including an asset register and failure risk scores. A hydraulic model was also created to analyze system performance. The model found some pressures and velocities outside normal standards. An infrastructure replacement plan was proposed, identifying over 6,000 meters of pipes for replacement. Replacement costs were estimated at over 6 million Rand. The study concluded that integrating GIS, modeling, and asset management can help water authorities in South Africa better plan for aging infrastructure challenges.
Planning of irrigation project/resrvoir(irrigation management)siva ch
The document discusses the planning of irrigation projects. It defines an irrigation project as using controlled water application to agricultural land to grow crops. Planning involves preliminary and detailed stages. The preliminary stage includes collecting data, field surveys, and feasibility analysis. The detailed stage involves more surveys to determine engineering designs and structures. Factors considered in planning include available land and water resources, crop water needs, infrastructure needs, costs, and economic benefits. Project types vary in purpose and size of commanded agricultural area. Successful projects require suitable land and climate conditions and an adequate, economic water supply.
ICLR Friday Forum: Modelling of Future Flood Risk Across Canada (May 31, 2019)glennmcgillivray
On May 31, 2019, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar lead by Dr. Slobodan Simonovic of Western University titled 'Modelling of Future Flood Risk Across Canada Under Climate Change.'
Climate change has induced changes in key climate variables and the hydrological cycle across Canada. With continuous emission of greenhouse gases, this trend is expected to continue over the 21st century and beyond. In this study, a macro-scaled hydrodynamic model is used to simulate 25 km resolution daily streamflow across Canada for historical (1961-2005) and future (2061-2100) timelines.
Future projections from 21 GCMs following four Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) were used for the analysis. Changes in the frequency and magnitude of historical 100-year and 250-year return period flood events and month of occurrence of peak flow are analyzed. Results obtained from uncertainty analysis for both return period flood events found that flood frequency will increase in most of the northern Canada, southern Ontario, southern British Columbia, northern Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. However, northern British Columbia, northern Ontario, Manitoba and northeastern Quebec will be facing decrease in flood frequency. Results indicate that 40%-60% of Canada’s 100 most populated cities including many prominent cities such as Toronto and Montreal are high at risk of increased riverine flooding under climate change.
Slobodan P. Simonovic is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Western Ontario and Director of Engineering Studies at ICLR. Prof. Simonovic is globally recognized for his unique interdisciplinary research in Systems Analysis and has over 500 professional publications and three major textbooks. Prof. Simonovic was inducted to the Canadian Academy of Engineering in June of 2013.
This document summarizes the findings of the Independent Review of Tidal Lagoons (Hendry Review) conducted by ITPEnergised. The review evaluated the potential for tidal lagoon energy in the UK, including the resource in the Severn Estuary, optimal design of lagoon programs, environmental and grid integration considerations, and economics. The review concluded that tidal lagoons can provide predictable, renewable energy and play a cost-effective role in the UK's energy mix, and that proceeding with an initial "pathfinder" lagoon makes strategic sense.
Extreme Weather Resiliency and Climate Adaptation Through Strategic Asset Man...Robert Muir
Natural Environment Climate Change Summit, Extreme Weather Resiliency and Climate Adaptation Through Strategic Asset Management & Infrastructure Investments, Robert J. Muir, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., Manager, Stormwater, City of Markham, March 7, 2019, Ajax, Ontario
The presentation explores the drivers for cost efficiency assessment infrastructure investments including those to mitigate flooding due to extreme weather and future climate change impacts on high intensity rainfall that contributes to urban flooding. Flood risk factors including severe rainfall trends are explored as well as hydrologic stresses due to urbanization and design standard evolution. Measures to reduce flooding in the City of Markham are explored using benefit cost analysis in the context of its comprehensive city-wide Flood Control Program. The program includes many projects that demonstrate a high return on investment (ROI) for flood risk reduction, making them eligible for Infrastructure Canada's Disaster Mitigation Adaptation Fund (DMAF) grant funding. An evaluation of risk management strategies is presented that includes traditional grey infrastructure engineering solutions such as sewer capacity upgrades, and emerging green infrastructure strategies including engineered and enhanced assets (e.g., bioswales, rain gardens, infiltration trenches, GSI). The strategies take a holistic, system-wide approach to evaluating benefits and lifecycle costs, including initial capital on on-going operation and maintenance costs. The analysis will be presented a t the annual Water Environment Association of Ontario conference in 2019 in Toronto, Ontario.

14. • POWER POTENTIAL & INSTALLED CAPACITY
Run-off H. E. Scheme
• The first step is to compute 90% dependable year :
– Obtain 10-daily hydrological inflow series in m3/sec for all hydrological years, year-
wise
– Calculate unrestricted energy generation in MUs.
– Arrange unrestricted annual energy generation in descending order
– 0.9(n+1)th year is the 90% dependable year, where n is the number of years for
which hydrological inflows data is available
• Fixating the installed capacity :
– Calculate firm power available based on average power generation during the lean
months flows in a 90% dependable year.
– Consider a number of alternatives of installed capacities in suitable steps say 5%,
for load factors say about 40% down to about 15%.
– Compute incremental energy generation (Δ KWH) for every incremental MW (Δ
MW) and plot result on a graph.
– Installed capacity is fixed at a value where the fall in the graph is sharp.
– B/C ratio and incremental benefit cost ratio (ΔB/ΔC) is also considered for fixing the
installed capacity. An alternative for installed capacities which provides maximum
net benefit (B-C) and ensures incremental (ΔB/ΔC) higher than unity is considered
optimum
