| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Over the past decade, four Tier 3 water budget studies have been initiated within the Grand River Watershed through the provincial Source Protection Program.
Study areas include the Region of Waterloo, City of Guelph and Township of Guelph/Eramosa (Guelph-Guelph/Eramosa Tier 3), Whitemans Creek subwatershed, and most recently the Township of Centre Wellington. The goal of each Tier 3 study has been to
evaluate the long term sustainability of the municipalities' aquifers. In each study, numerical groundwater flow models have been developed and applied to assess how water levels in municipal wells will change under various current and future
conditions such as changes in land use development, current and future increases in municipal water takings, and long term drought conditions.
In addition to the Tier 3 objectives outlined above, each of the four Tier 3 studies have been leveraged
beyond their original purpose to support additional projects, such as the development of municipal Long Term Water Supply Master Plans and climate change adaptation planning.
In the case of the Township of Centre Wellington and
Guelph-Guelph/Eramosa Tier 3 studies, a component new to the Tier 3 process has been introduced - early community engagement through the development of community liaison groups. These groups have been implemented to bring engaged residents and
stakeholders into the technical portion of the Tier 3 studies as they develop, and into subsequent water quantity policy development.
This presentation provides an overview of how each of the Tier 3 water budget studies within the Grand River
Watershed have provided water budget tools, in the form of groundwater flow models, to municipalities for use beyond the Tier 3 assessment, and the evolvement of the Tier 3 process to include community engagement. |
