ICLR Friday Forum: Floodplain mapping over Canada: performance at inundation...glennmcgillivray
ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar on June 18, 2021 titled 'Floodplain mapping over Canada: Investigating performance at inundation level and understanding dynamics of population flood exposure', led by Dr. Slobodan Simonovic, Director of Engineering Studies, ICLR/Professor Emeritus, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Western University.
Surface runoff estimates from atmospheric re-analysis datasets are increasingly preferred by hydrologists for modelling floods in regions where traditional observations are not sufficiently available. This presentation explores the fidelity of four widely used re-analyses runoff products as hydraulic forcings to a flood inundation model in describing inundation dynamics over Canada. The re-analysis obtained runoff is used with the Catchment-based Macroscale Floodplain (CaMa-Flood) global hydrodynamic model, to derive high-resolution floodplain maps for 100 and 200-yr return periods. The floodplain maps derived from each reanalysis dataset are compared with the regional developed or ‘benchmark floodplain maps’ over six selected flood-prone basins (test basins) in Canada through a set of performance statistics. Using the superior reanalysis runoff dataset, a few historic flood events over the test basins are simulated and subsequently compared with MODIS satellite-derived floodplain information. We notice that more than 75% of the inundation is precisely captured for these events.
The second part of the presentation will focus on the use of four global population datasets (together with census data from Statistics Canada as the reference), their performances and skill in flood exposure assessment across Canada. The flood exposure is quantified based on a set of floodplain maps for Canada derived from the CaMa-Flood global flood model. To obtain further insights at the regional level, the methodology is implemented over six flood-prone River Basins in Canada. We find that about 9% (3.31 million) and 11% (3.90 million) of the Canadian population resides within 1 in 100-yr and 1 in 200-yr floodplains.
This work (i) strongly supports the need for careful selection of a re-analysis dataset while performing inundation modelling for large regions: and (ii) also highlights the need for careful selection of population datasets for preventing further amplification of uncertainties in flood risk. The results derived from this study may be useful for flood risk management and contribute to understanding other disaster impacts on human-environment interrelationships.
Grey and Green Infrastructure Benefit Cost, Return on Investment Analysis for...Robert Muir
This presentation was made to the Southern Ontario Municipal Stormwater Discussion Group on September 27, 2018 in Brantford, Ontario. It describes benefit-cost analysis to show the return on investment (ROI) of infrastructure improvements to reduce flood damages (insured and total), and to achieve other benefits including erosion mitigation and water quality improvements. Earlier benefit cost analyses for projects ranging from the Winnipeg floodway to the Stratford, Ontario storm system master plan are shown. The benefit-cost ratio of an Ontario flood control study is shown including a comparison of grey and green infrastructure cost effectiveness - analysis shows the grey infrastructure solution can meet the current Disaster Mitigation Adaptation Fund (DMAF) benefit/cost threshold of 2:1 required to be eligible for federal funding. In addition, city-wide analysis of grey infrastructure storm and sanitary system upgrades and green infrastructure / low impact development infrastructure strategies is summarized.
Results show that the grey infrastructure solution can meet the DMAF benefit/cost threshold of 2:1 but that the benefit/cost of green infrastructure is substantially below it considering flood reduction benefits. When other benefits are considered, and targeted implementation of green infrastructure is considered (e.g., representing 25% of the urban area with limited overland drainage design standards) and considering additional benefits including a substantial 'willingness to pay' estimate for water quality improvements, costs continue to exceed benefits. The insurance industry and some affiliated research groups have suggested that natural infrastructure or green infrastructure should be considered to improve climate resilience and reduce flood damages - this analysis would suggest that approach is misguided and could misdirect scare resources to ineffective strategies.
This document summarizes a webinar on urban flood risk mapping presented by Robert Muir from the City of Markham. The webinar outlined a tiered vulnerability assessment approach for mapping riverine, wastewater, and storm drainage flood risks to guide best practices and projects. Simple, intermediate, and advanced risk mapping methods were described for each system. The risk maps can be used to identify policies, programs, and capital projects to reduce flood risk from flood plains to floor drains. Combining risk factors across systems was also discussed.
Cost Effectiveness of LID ImplementationRobert Muir
Green infrastructure can provide flood control, erosion control, and water quality benefits but the costs must be considered. A case study in Markham, Ontario found that a green infrastructure strategy was not cost-effective for flood control compared to conventional grey infrastructure strategies when considering capital and lifecycle costs. While green infrastructure provided benefits, the annual costs were much higher than the annual benefits. The study also highlighted concerns with infiltration from green infrastructure increasing risks of basement flooding and degradation of drinking water sources.

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.

A review of engineering and academic studies for multiple municipalities highlights many unsupported claims on extreme weather trends. Practical design approaches given decreasing or stationary IDF trends, and allowances for future climate changes effects are noted, including the consideration of design stress test analysis with synthetic hyetographs or rain intensity increases. Design hyetographs are shown to be more critical to infrastructure system design than IDF curve shifts in regions such as Southern Ontario.

This document discusses stormwater management and low impact development (LID) targets. It provides background on the evolution of LID targets in Ontario. It then describes analytical probability models that can be used to design LID measures and assess their performance. The document analyzes the capital and lifecycle costs of meeting proposed LID volume targets from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, finding the costs to be 4-5 times higher than conventional technologies. It also presents unit cost data for completed LID projects and analyzes the lifecycle costs of implementing LIDs in a new development in Markham. The conclusions emphasize the need for system-wide planning to identify cost-effective LID targets and consider full lifecycle costs for sustainable financial

Green Infrastructure – Cost Effectiveness and Technical Challenges for Flood Mitigation, Robert J. Muir, M.A.Sc., P.Eng.
Manager, Stormwater, City of Markham, January 30, 2018 - Mississauga, Ontario
The presentation presents regulations and policies regarding cost effective infrastructure, explores green infrastructure capital costs in Ontario based on recent project tender costs and other North American extensive program sources, explores lifecycle cost (LCC) impacts of widespread green infrastructure implementation in Ontario, including cost per household and impacts on the current infrastructure deficit, and presents benefit cost analysis for city-wide grey and green infrastructure strategies including benefit/cost ratios for flood damage reduction. Unit costs of no regret programs such as sanitary downspout disconnection and plumbing isolation programs, and wastewater and stormwater system upgrades, and green infrastructure retrofits are presented per hectare. Gaps in research relying on meta-analysis estimates of flood control benefits that do not consider local engineering or costs are presented. Impacts of green infrastructure on wastewater systems and infiltration stresses is presented, and correlation of wastewater infiltration stresses with local sewer back-up risks is shown for the City of Markham. Water supply risks of green infrastructure relying on infiltration including chloride stresses are explored. The unfavourable benefit-cost profile of green infrastructure and potential impacts on wastewater system flood risks and municipal water supplies suggests a strategic review of implementation targets and policies is warranted to identify financially sustainable and technically-appropriate requirements.

Water Environment Association of Ontario 2019 Annual Conference, Toronto, Ontario, April 16, 2019
by Robert J. Muir, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., Fabian Papa, MBA, P.Eng.
Presentation reviews policies and regulations in Ontario promoting cost-effective infrastructure servicing. Summarizes the assessment of cost effectiveness of grey, green and blended green and grey flood damage reduction strategies on a system-wide basis. Identifies triple-bottom-line benefits of erosion mitigation reduction and water quality improvements due to green infrastructure implementation. Details of the analysis are presented in the proceedings paper also included here: https://www.cityfloodmap.com/2019/03/an-economic-analysis-of-green-v-grey.html
The analysis indicates benefit cost ratios for flood control and other benefits and assesses funding impacts on stormwater utility fees in a case study in the City of Markham. Markham's current Flood Control Program consisting largely of grey infrastructure is shown to be cost-effective with benefits exceeding costs by 2 to 1 based on insured loss deferral (and a higher ratio considering higher total losses). Green infrastructure is shown to be less cost-effective at delivering flood control and the cost for achieving water quality benefits exceeds the estimated willingness to pay 'value' of those benefits. The analysis suggests that a critical, strategic evaluation of green infrastructure implementation targets is required prior to system-wide implementation, given cost concerns.

Urbanization and Baseflow Impacts - Evidence-based Water Budget Management an...Robert Muir
Green infrastructure, low impact development practices (LIDs), also called stormwater management best management practices (SWM BMPs), are often proposed to restore water balance functions and mitigate impacts or urbanization on runoff and recharge. One argument is that baseflows are lowered due to reduced infiltration and discharges to watercourses. It is a simple textbook theory.
What does the data show? The following slide presentation was prepared to respond to the Ontario draft LID guidance manual in early 2017 since water balance impacts have been cited as justification for this infrastructure.
Local studies show that baseflows have increased over decades of urbanization, calling into question the need for such measures considering that potential impact has not materialized. As noted in TRCA's Approved Updated Assessment Report under the Clean Water Act, at most gauges there was an upward trend in baseflows which prompted this: "These overall increases to baseflow volumes are contrary to the common thought that increased impervious cover leads to reduced baseflow" - so for those keeping score, data - one, common thought - zero. TMIG also analyzed baseflows in the GTA and noted “The seven-day average consecutive low flow data provides an indication of the observed baseflows within a watercourse, and hence is a suitable measure for determining whether baseflow trends exist in an urbanizing area. The trend analysis identified noticeable baseflow trends in 13 of the 24 recording stations. Of these eight urban and two rural stations exhibited an upward trend, suggesting increasing baseflow.”

Green infrastructure is shown to be less cost-effective at delivering flood control and the cost for achieving water quality benefits exceeds the estimated willingness to pay 'value' of those benefits. The analysis suggests that a critical, strategic evaluation of green infrastructure implementation targets is required prior to system-wide implementation, given cost concerns.

Urbanization and Baseflow Impacts - Evidence-based Water Budget Management an...Robert Muir
Green infrastructure, low impact development practices (LIDs), also called stormwater management best management practices (SWM BMPs), are often proposed to restore water balance functions and mitigate impacts or urbanization on runoff and recharge. One argument is that baseflows are lowered due to reduced infiltration and discharges to watercourses. It is a simple textbook theory.
What does the data show? The following slide presentation was prepared to respond to the Ontario draft LID guidance manual in early 2017 since water balance impacts have been cited as justification for this infrastructure.
Local studies show that baseflows have increased over decades of urbanization, calling into question the need for such measures considering that potential impact has not materialized. As noted in TRCA's Approved Updated Assessment Report under the Clean Water Act, at most gauges there was an upward trend in baseflows which prompted this: "These overall increases to baseflow volumes are contrary to the common thought that increased impervious cover leads to reduced baseflow" - so for those keeping score, data - one, common thought - zero. TMIG also analyzed baseflows in the GTA and noted “The seven-day average consecutive low flow data provides an indication of the observed baseflows within a watercourse, and hence is a suitable measure for determining whether baseflow trends exist in an urbanizing area. The trend analysis identified noticeable baseflow trends in 13 of the 24 recording stations. Of these eight urban and two rural stations exhibited an upward trend, suggesting increasing baseflow.”

Disaster Vulnerability Analysis Process
1. Collection and analysis of basic data
- Topography, land use, infrastructure
This document provides an overview of coastal urban flood risk management. It discusses the increased occurrences of floods and their threat to coastal areas. The need to integrate risk management and development approaches is highlighted. Asia has seen a rising trend in flood disasters compared to other disasters in the last 28 years. Coastal cities like Kolkata and Mumbai have high percentages of their areas at risk of flooding. The aim of the study is to plan for resilient urban developments through a flood risk management approach. Objectives include understanding causes and impacts of floods, studying regulations and plans, and applying a Coastal Disaster Risk Index to propose an adaptive strategy for Kochi, India. The scope is a city-level analysis and limitations include data accuracy and quality
Cities have used various land use tools to manage flood risks, with varying degrees of success. Spatial plans provide guidance on flood risk-based land use and may be prepared at different administrative levels. Traditionally, cities have used regulatory tools like zoning and building codes, but enforcing compliance has been difficult. More recently, economic instruments like land-based financing and incentives have been experimented with. Influencing community behavior through risk communication and participation is also important. The planning process must be supported by participatory risk assessment and communication. Different land use tools must be combined for effective implementation. Integrating flood risk into land use planning can be challenging and requires coordination among stakeholders and decision makers. In developing countries, challenges include informal settlements, unclear
The document discusses flood management systems in Ireland. It covers topics such as flood policy, flood risk assessment, flood risk management plans, and sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS). SUDS aim to minimize storm water runoff and treat water close to its source using methods like filter strips, swales, filter drains, permeable surfaces, infiltration devices, and detention ponds. National flood policy in Ireland requires flood risk to be considered in the planning process and aims to avoid development in flood-prone areas where possible.
The document discusses a flood emergency management program in Cambodia that aims to build local capacity in flood-vulnerable communities. It describes interventions at provincial, district, and community levels, including integrating flood risk reduction into development plans, creating flood response plans, and raising public awareness through school programs and early warning systems. It also discusses lessons learned, such as the need to enhance climate change adaptation and women's roles, and recommendations to better integrate disaster risk management and climate change adaptation efforts.
ADB,GWP and Water Security presented by Dr. Thomas Panella at GWP Network Me...Global Water Partnership
The document summarizes Dr. Thomas Panella's presentation on ADB's support for water security in Asia, addressing climate change impacts. It outlines ADB's regional convening role and technical and financing support through grants, loans, and partnerships. Examples provided include projects in Vietnam, Bangladesh, Indonesia that employ climate modeling and adaptation strategies to strengthen resilience of water sectors and promote integrated water resources management. The document discusses opportunities for deeper cooperation between ADB and GWP on mainstreaming water security in operations and projects.
The document provides information on a hazard risk and vulnerability atlas developed for Navi Mumbai, India. It was created as part of a project to enhance disaster risk reduction. The atlas contains flood, earthquake, fire, social vulnerability, and urban heat island exposure and risk maps. It integrates data from surveys, government departments, and risk models. The atlas is intended to help mainstream disaster risk reduction into development plans and aid emergency response through visual representation of risk.
This presentation was delivered by Dr. Jeremy Carew-Reid, Director General of ICEM at the 5th Greater Mekong Subregion Environment Minister's Meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand from 30 January to 1 February 2018. The presentation demonstrates how green infrastructure can enhance resilience and sustainability in urban areas and across rural landscapes.
IRJET - A Case Study on Flood Risk ManagementIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a case study on flood risk management. It discusses three levels of flood risk management actions - operational, project planning, and design levels. At the operational level, accurate flood forecasting and 24/7 emergency response are important. The project planning level involves flood control projects like dams, diversion canals, and river defenses. The design level includes structures like check dams, retaining walls, and building regulations to mitigate flood risk. Flood risk management aims to reduce loss of life and property damage from floods.

5th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2014 Integrative Risk Management - The role of science, technology & practice 24-28 August 2014 in Davos, Switzerland
Rapid urbanization in Asia has increased populations in disaster-prone areas, raising vulnerability. Disaster mitigation measures like earthquake-resistant infrastructure have rarely been implemented in most Asian countries. The Asian Urban Disaster Mitigation Program demonstrated effective mitigation, and there is now significant demand for urban disaster risk management in the region and beyond.
URBAN FLOOD SUSCEPTIBILITY MAP OF CHENNAI - GIS AND RANDOM FOREST METHODIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a study that created an urban flood susceptibility map of Chennai, India using GIS and the random forest machine learning method. Eleven factors like elevation, land use, rainfall, and distance from rivers were used as inputs to the random forest model. 300 historic flood locations and 300 non-flood locations were collected and used to train and test the model. The random forest model achieved 95.5% accuracy in predicting flood locations. The output was used to classify the study area into low and high flood susceptibility zones to assist with flood management and mitigation.
Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience | Water in the Oil & Gas SectorAdvisian
This document discusses climate change adaptation and resilience in the oil and gas sector, focusing on water issues. It defines adaptation, resilience, and mitigation, then outlines climate change hazards like increasing temperatures, storms, and sea level rise. It discusses risks to oil and gas operations from flooding, water supply/quality issues, and changes in weather patterns. Drivers for adaptation include increased water costs/competition and ensuring supply chain security. The document presents key adaptation principles and examples of adaptation actions companies have taken, such as upgraded infrastructure design, water governance policies, ecosystem protection, and integrated planning.
This document summarizes the RISC-KIT project, which aims to develop tools to help reduce coastal risk in Europe. The project is developing 1) a framework to identify high-risk coastal areas, 2) quantitative models to evaluate risk reduction measures in hotspots, 3) an online guide with risk reduction options, and 4) a coastal risk database. These tools are being applied in 11 case study sites to help meet risk reduction goals. The project expects to help design more cost-effective risk reduction plans and improve risk governance through providing timely risk information to decision-makers. Results will be disseminated through conferences, meetings, publications, summer schools and a final conference.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
