Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019i

OUR VISION Enabling global water security by world-class research and training, science comm-unication and science-informed policy. We define water security as the sustainable use and protection of water resources under changing climatic conditions and the pressures of population growth, including the safeguarding of access to water functions and services for humans and the environment, and protection against water-related hazards (e.g. flooding, drought and contaminants).

OUR MISSION

Create a focus and platform for interdisciplinary collaboration that recog-

nizes the societal dimensions of water security, human impacts on the

environment, and the linkages and feedbacks among the atmosphere, the

ocean, the land and freshwater systems. This requires new integration of the

relevant spectrum of natural, health and social sciences, public policy and

engineering;

Develop the knowledge, science and technologies needed to support

integrated water quantity and quality management in the face of uncertain

climate and water resource futures, and address local, regional and global

water security agendas;

Train the next generations of water security scholars and practitioners;

Communicate key advances in water security research to government

officials, environmental decision makers and the general public. Develop

partnerships with key stakeholders to translate science into policy and

management support to meet water security challenges, including

interactions among water, food, energy and ecosystem services (i.e.,

benefits to human welfare), climate change adaptation and mitigation

challenges, and the human health agenda;

Understand the hydrological, social, economic and political factors that

threaten water security in key regions globally. Engage in water diplomacy,

collaborative network (e.g. government, civil society, NGO and universities)

and capacity building in those regions; and

Explore public-private partnership opportunities for strategic water security

issues and regions.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE – Jay Famiglietti Dear colleagues, members, and friends of GIWS,

Another Annual Report affords me the opportunity to reflect on where we have been in the last

year, and what the road ahead may look like. Let me start by saying that you all make me so

proud to be your Executive Director. You continue to demonstrate that we are moving the needle

on regional and global water security in very substantive ways; and you give me great hope that

the future of water security is in very capable hands.

The institute continues to grow in personnel, in

space and in stature. We are bursting at the

seams in our offices at Innovation Place in

Saskatoon, trying to fit every one of our nearly

500 graduate students, postdocs, research

technicians, faculty and staff into our offices. Our

Coldwater Laboratory in Canmore is also

expanding with the arrival of Prof. Martyn Clark

and the growth of his team there. For much of

2019, we have been engaged with the Town of

Canmore in discussions regarding GIWS

expansion there, including recruiting a new Tier

1 Canada Research Chair with a potential home

base at Coldwater.

Regarding the growth of our stature, a senior,

distinguished colleague, who was sitting next to me during a recent dinner, leaned over and said

in a hushed tone ‘you all are doing amazing things up there in Saskatoon.’ As many of you know,

he is not the only one who feels that way. Between all of your great science, teaching, training

and outreach, and the far-reaching impacts of our Global Water Futures program under Associate

Director John Pomeroy’s leadership, we have been turning heads for some time now. While that

is important for recruiting top talent to USask and GIWS, more important is that we are having

an impact. Elected officials, policy makers and water managers are seeking us out for advice,

guidance, for our latest research results, and to hire our graduates. This…is what it is all about.

While my first term at USask (Fall 2018) was spent ‘making the rounds’ on campus, meeting GIWS

members, campus administrators, and scouting new collaborations, much of 2019 was spent

looking beyond the boundaries of campus. With the help of USask’s new Associate Vice-

President for Government Relations Sara Daniels, and GIWS’ new Strategic Partnership Specialist

Palash Sanyal, we are establishing new and meaningful relationships with a wide variety of

federal, provincial and city government agencies and officials. These relationships must be built

Dr. James Famiglietti, Executive Director GIWS and Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Water

Security

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019iii

and nurtured over the long-term. Mutual trust and two-way communication are essential for our

work to have continued impact on policy and practice, and hence for the sustainability of GIWS.

More on these relationships in just a bit.

Let me share some highlights with you from the 2018-2019 academic year.

The GWF 2nd Annual Open Science Meeting in May in Saskatoon was a tremendous success.

With nearly 600 attendees, it was one of the largest water science meetings ever held in Canada.

Keynote lectures from Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations,

from President David Grimes of the World Meteorological Organization, and Scott White, editor

of The Conversation, along with hundreds of talks and posters, demonstrated that GIWS can host

a world-class meeting. Professor Helen Baulch’s public talk on Prairie water issues at the Roxy

Theater was another highlight. Kudos to the GWF team for knocking this one out of the park!

Now, about those government officials who are seeking us out. It was a great pleasure to host

Dr. Mona Nemer, Canada’s Chief Science Advisor, when she came to visit us on July 8 to learn

more about the Institute, our research and our programs. I’m happy to say that Dr. Nemer

continues to be engaged with GIWS: we are currently working together on ‘Water Day on the

Hill’ which will take place on March 10, 2020. Our goal is to have water experts from across

Canada have multiple brief one-on-one meetings with members of Parliament throughout the

day, with a poster session to wrap up. This will be an important opportunity to have our water

messages heard, and a great experience in honing our science communication skills. This is an

important initiative for all of Canada as we continue to work closely with the government to

ensure a secure water future for all Canadians.

Just a couple of weeks later, on July 23, the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, then Minister of Science,

paid a visit to GIWS and we were so grateful to have her speak with our researchers, students,

and young professionals. Minister Duncan seemed especially impressed with the advances in

research our team at the Smart Water Systems Laboratory is having on the field of hydrology

through the use of drones and unique sensors; along with the tremendous work by some our

faculty and graduate students on the Women and Water Lecture Series, which I am proud to say

will begin again for season two in January 2020.

We are developing new collaborations with the Global Institute for Food Security and in the

general area of the food-water nexus and digital agro-hydrology. Since most of the world’s water

is used to produce food, we must engage with our colleagues at GIFS, in the College of Agriculture

and Bioresources, as well as with the agricultural ministries and with the food industry, if we

aspire to greater impacts on global water security. Given the expertise in hydrology and

agriculture on campus, it is clear that USask can become a globally leading research university in

food-water nexus issues.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019iv

You can check out a complete list of our “Collaborations and Outreach” in the compendium

section of this report, but I want to highlight a few recent engagements with important

individuals and groups, including World Water Week in Stockholm, the Japan Society for the

Promotion of Science Invitational Fellowship for Research in Japan, the launch of the Pew

Charitable Trust’s Future of Water issue on World Water Day at the National Academies of

Science, Engineering and Medicine in Washington, DC; and invited keynote talks at the World

Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC; the Johnson-Shoyama

School’s Tansley Lecture in Regina; and the IAEA International Symposium on Isotope Hydrology

in Vienna. Some day my speaking schedule will slow down…I hope.

As you may know, I am passionate about science communication and ensuring that what we do

as researchers is not locked away in the ivory tower. One way we are trying to communicate with

the public is through a partnership with Let’s Talk About Water (LTAW), an activity which I co-

founded with colleague and film researcher Linda Lilienfeld in 2009. LTAW uses film to stimulate

discussion about local water issues with local experts, and it has held events and film festivals

around the word. This past year we began planning for a weeklong LTAW film festival in

Saskatoon next June, along with an international water film prize, student film prizes for students

from the Saskatoon Public and Catholic School Boards, public speakers, and the 5th International

Conference on Hydrology and Earth System Science for Society (HESSS5). We’re calling the whole

thing Saskatoon Water Week. All of the films and events for Saskatoon Water Week are free and

we can’t wait for Saskatoon to be taking about water!

As for teasers for 2019-2020, watch for growth in the areas of water diplomacy and remote

sensing, over the next year, and of course, we’ll continue to grow our efforts in science

communication.

It is an honour to serve as the Executive Director of GIWS and as the Canada 150 Research Chair

in Hydrology and Remote Sensing at the University of Saskatchewan, and I could not do this

without the continued support of my wife Cathy, the Institute and USask. Thank you!

Warmest regards,

Jay Famiglietti, FAGU, FGSA Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Remote Sensing Executive Director, Global Institute for Water Security Professor, School of Environment and Sustainability, and Department of Geography and Planning

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019v

ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE – Jeff McDonnell Welcome to the 2019 University of Saskatchewan’s Global

Institute for Water Security report! Internationalization of

the GIWS continues under the leadership of Jay Famiglietti

and through the Global Water Futures program led by John

Pomeroy.

As is our tradition, we have brought many international

visitors to campus in 2019 as part of our Distinguished

Lecture Series—this year hosted by Saman Razavi. Our

speakers included: Reed Maxwell (Colorado School of Mines),

Bart Nijssen (University of Washington), Adrian Harpold

(University of Nevada), David Hannah (University of

Birmingham), Bridget Scanlon (University of Texas at Austin),

Martyn Tranter (Bristol University), Nandita Basu (University

of Waterloo) and Karen Kidd (McMaster University). These and previous years’ lectures can be

watched on our GIWS You Tube channel:

[https://www.youtube.com/user/usaskgiws/feed?view_as=subscriber]

Of course, our many water faculty across campus have been active internationally, spreading the

GIWS gospel worldwide—with current research projects on nearly every continent! Our biggest

international news this year is the commencement of the Masters in Water Security degree

taught by USask faculty at Beijing Normal University (BNU)—China (#1 ranked Water Resources

Program in China). This is the first such degree taught by a Canadian University in China and we

all are very thankful for Irena Creed and Karsten Liber who worked tirelessly to put this together;

and to Chengzhong Pan and his colleagues at BNU who did similar yeoman service at their end

to make it all happen.

On the student and postdoctoral training front, our aim is to give international students Canadian

experience and Canadian students’ international experience. Our own Magali Nehemy (coming

to us from Brazil) won the American Geophysical Union’s Horton Research Grant for 2019—for

best PhD proposal in hydrology. Student achievements abound on campus and the CREATE

Program in Water Security (led by Cherie Westbrook) continues to excel with a strong cohort of

outstanding students. The new group of project-based Masters in Water Security (MWS) (led by

Andrew Ireson) are thriving. Additionally, In 2018-19, our Core faculty has supervised, co-

supervised and hosted graduates and highly qualified personnel’s from several international

universities such as RWTH Aachen University (Germany), University of Arizona (USA), University

of Pernambuco (Brazil), Ningxia University (China), Ludong University (China), China Institute of

Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) and Masarek University (Czech Republic).

In the field in England, March 2019

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019vi

GIWS hosted a one-day workshop (USask-BNU Joint Research Workshop on Water and Climate

Science) including delegates from Beijing Normal University, China in Saskatoon

I have been on sabbatical for 2019—based at the Luxembourg Institute for Science and

Technology. Therefore, the postdoc mentoring launches and our annual campus-wide ‘Launching

an Academic Career’ short course did not take place. Rather, these works were taken “on the

road” this year where GIWS branded mentoring lectures and short courses were delivered at the

Luxembourg Institute for Science and Technology (Luxembourg), University of Padua (Italy),

Beijing Forestry University (China), Beijing Normal University (China), Tsinghua University (China),

University of Birmingham (UK), International Association of Hydrological Sciences (in Montreal),

the USA Critical Zone Early Career Scientists meeting (in San Francisco) and Ludong University

(China) where 200 young professors came out for a morning, GIWS mentoring short course.

Together with our research staff and our many international partners, we invite you to come and

be a part of our team—as a visiting scientist, sabbatical visitor, graduate student, postdoctoral or

student intern.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019vii

ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE – John Pomeroy Led by the Global Institute for Water

Security (GIWS) at the University of Saskat-

chewan (USask), Global Water Futures

(GWF) has reached three years since its

launch in September 2016. As 2019 has

brought us exceptionally extreme impacts

of climate change and developmental

impacts on water, it is a good time to take

stock of recent progress in GWF and our

plans for the future. The tremendous skill,

excitement, determination and drive of

GWF researchers is certainly needed as

Canada and the world grapple with a global water crisis. The coupled climate and water crises

threaten the very fabric of our society and the integrity of our ecosystems.

Addressing these interlinked crises means that we need to solve water problems using novel

approaches that draw upon both western science and traditional knowledge. To this end, GWF

has six newly active Indigenous community water research projects, each of which was co-

created and is co-led by an Indigenous investigator and a GWF university co-principal

investigator. These are in addition to GWF’s 39 pan-Canada projects, and core teams including

modelling and forecasting, computer science, knowledge mobilization, data and technical teams

from across Canada and around the world that bring greater strength and diversity to GWF.

GWF network is extensive and involves 356 stakeholders/ users, 157 researchers from 15

Canadian universities and 538 research personnel associate with 39 pan-Canada projects, and

core teams including modelling and forecasting, computer science, knowledge mobilization, data

and technical teams. Additional information is available at: [https://gwf.usask.ca/]

In order to promote research excellence, equity, diversity and inclusion, and transdisciplinary

science, GWF instituted The Distinguished Lecture Series , The Women and Water Lecture Series,

The Knowledge Mobilization Webinar Series, respectively. Research productivity could be

measure by the fact that in 2019 GWF researchers published 314 peer-reviewed journal articles,

delivered 607 conference presentations, presented 192 invited, plenary and keynote lectures,

published six books and book chapters, and published 54 other articles. In addition, 44 graduate

and undergraduate theses were completed during this period. This is a superb record of research

achievement and dissemination of scientific information across the world. For additional

information, please refer to the GWF Annual Report 2018-2019 at:

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019viii

The month of February 2019 saw great accomplishments from the GWF Core Forecasting and

Modelling Team led by Dr. Alain Pietroniro. GWF was able to join with Environment and Climate

Change Canada and NSERC’s FloodNet in convening a history-making 1st National Workshop on

Flow Forecasting. In addition, GWF partnered with the Forum for Leadership on Water, the

Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources, the POLIS Program on Ecological Governance

and the UN University to convene a national discussion on water security at the Rideau Club in

Ottawa on April 11th – Water Security for Canadians: Solutions for Canada’s Water Crisis. This

event brought together water and climate scientists, policy experts, legislators, and water

decision rightsholders and stakeholders.

International engagement and recognition for GWF continues to increase. GWF is now a Regional

Hydroclimate Project of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges project (GEWEX) of the World

Climate Research Programme in Washington, DC. We hosted the GEWEX Open Science Meeting

in Canada for the first time in May 2018. International linkages to mountain research has been

delivered by the GWF-managed International Network of Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology

http://www.usask.ca/inarch/, a cross-cutting project of GEWEX with which a joint meeting was

held in Santiago, Chile over 24-26 October 2018. A Memorandum of Understanding has been

signed that will strengthen both Canada and China’s commitment to managing freshwater

resources globally in a time of rapid climate change. The partnership involves GWF and the

Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Third Pole Environment (TPE) program.

Coming up this year will be calls for new Pillars 1 and 2 projects (Transformative Science Projects)

and renewal of Pillar 3 projects (User Question-led Projects) as well as assessment and renewal

of our core teams. An important initiative was the decision by the Strategic Management

Committee to internationalize GWF’s modelling capabilities with a GWF Planetary Freshwater

Prediction program.

GWF continues to make a name for itself across the country and around the globe. It is an honour

to be involved with such talented and brilliant scientists, to have strong support from the Canada

First Research Excellence Fund and our funding partners and to have such superb administrative

and institutional support that keeps GWF running.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019xi

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) is a research-intensive institute at the University

of Saskatchewan (USask), which manages individual research programs of more than 94 faculty

members from 21 academic units. GIWS ensures that society has the understanding and the tools

to sustainably manage and protect the world’s water resources and ensure that Canada, and the

world, has the research and expertise needed to understand our water systems in an era of rapid

societal and environmental change. Since its inception in March 2011, the institute has

established itself as one of the premier research-intensive institutions locally (ranked #1 in

Canada) and globally (ranked #18) in the field of Water Resources as per the 2018 Academic

Ranking of World Universities and in InCites. GIWS has successfully recruited 16 core faculty

members including Prof. Jay Famiglietti, Executive Director, GIWS, and Canada 150 Research

Chair in Hydrology and Remote Sensing, which is roughly equivalent to creation of a new

department.

GIWS provides: a) a vehicle for the new disciplinary and trans-disciplinary science needed to

address the local, regional and global challenges of water security (and specifically the CERC

program), and b) a platform and focus for the USask signature area of water. The institute

combines expertise in natural, health and social sciences, public policy and engineering,

recognizing that people and their activities are of critical importance for water science and

management. GIWS respects the indigenous ways of living, land-based learning, and understands

the profound changes that have occurred due to both climate change and human actions on their

water resources. Hence, it strongly believe in empowering Indigenous communities in protecting

their water resources and health through co-creation and co-development of research projects

that bring traditional knowledge together with western science.

GIWS is the home of the Global Water Futures (GWF) program funded by the Canada First

Research Excellence Fund (CFREF), Government of Canada, which is the largest university-based

fresh-water research program in the world. GWF is led by the USask, in partnership with

University of Waterloo, McMaster University and Wilfrid Laurier University and has 335 partners

and 388 researchers from 18 Canadian academic institutions. The goal of the program is to deliver

risk management solutions - informed by leading-edge water science and supported by

innovative decision-making tools - to manage water futures in Canada and other cold regions

where global warming is changing landscapes, ecosystems, and the water environment.

On its way to this remarkable achievement, the GIWS has become the host of the World Climate

Research Program’s (WCRP), only Regional Hydroclimate Project in North America – Global Water

Futures - and also hosts the WCRP’s Global Hydroclimate Project & UNESCO’s International

Hydrological Program - International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology

(INARCH). In addition, GIWS is the Canadian node for the Sustainable Water Futures Program

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019xii

along with the Future Earth programme. Recently, GIWS-USask has been approved as the

contributing organization to the World Meteorological Organization through the GWF program.

GIWS aims to be a global leader in Cold Region water science and focuses its efforts through

seven research themes: Climate Change and Water Security; Land-Water Management and

Environmental Change; Sustainable Development of Natural Resources; Socio-hydrology, Water

and health, Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies, and Groundwater and

Hydrogeology. It has developed new, internationally recognized research facilities, have taken on

important national and international science leadership roles, attracted substantial additional

research funding, and are beginning to deliver the exciting science that was foreseen at the

program outset.

GIWS has developed two important strategic educational initiatives in graduate education and

training: 1) The NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) Program in

Water Security, which commenced in September 2015 stimulates research Masters and PhD

students to integrate science, engineering, and policy as they address current and future

challenges in complex water systems. 2) Beginning in 2016, we are offering an innovative one-

year professional Master of Water Security graduate program that provides intensive cross-

training to build disciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise for research and practice.

GIWS strongly believes in professional development of graduate students and postdoctoral

fellows, particularly international scholars. GIWS offers a half-a-day workshop on “The Future

Professoriate” to shed light on and facilitate discussions regarding the workings of academia for

graduate students and postdoctoral fellows interested in pursuing academic careers. Also,

student and postdoctoral fellows were advised in “creating a research brand” of their own

ambitions and for a successful and satisfying research career. GIWS hosts a yearly Distinguished

Lecture Series entitled “Breakthroughs in Water Security Research,” which brings 9 world-leading

scientists to GIWS for lectures, tutorials and workshops in the areas of soil physics,

instrumentation, lab experiments, uncertainty estimation, hydro-ecological modeling, watershed

observatory networks, instream flow modeling, engineering hydrology, aquatic ecosystem

science, isotope hydrology and socio-hydrology. This lecture series provides students,

postdoctoral fellows, faculty, staff and the broader community with an opportunity to

understand breakthroughs in various areas of water security from a global perspective and to

network with international leaders.

In 2018-19, GIWS core faculty and members have secured a total of $18.5 million (52% federal

sources, 7% provincial, 25% industry, 14% international and 2% from USask sources) and

financially supported and supervised 241 graduate students (101 PhD and 140 Masters), 45

postdoctoral fellows and 93 other HQP’s.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019xiii

GIWS members have published 364 journal articles, including papers in Science and Nature,

published and presented 355 papers in proceedings and at conferences, delivered 130 plenary,

key note and invited lectures, and published 17 book chapters and books.

In only 8 years of GIWS’s existence, it is unprecedented to have six Royal Society of Canada (RSC)

Fellows, five American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fellows, one Miroslaw Romanowski Medal

holder, one Einstein Professor-Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), one Soil Science Society of

America Fellow, one EU Academy of Sciences Fellow, past-president of the 7500-member

Hydrology Section of the AGU, and Vice-president of the Hydrology Section of the Canadian

Geophysical Union.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 20191

1. Global Institute for Water Security The Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) is the

top ranked water resources research institute in Canada and one of the most advanced cold

regions hydrology centres in the world. GIWS is led by Executive Director Dr. Jay Famiglietti,

Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Remote Sensing (2018-2025) and a fellow of the

American Geophysical Union, who uses satellites and develops advanced computer models to

track how freshwater availability is changing around the globe.

Formed in March 2011, GIWS was funded initially through the Canada Excellence Research

Chair (CERC) in Water Security, a $30-million, joint federal-provincial-university commitment

between 2010-2017. GIWS was formed to ensure that society has the understanding and the

tools to sustainably manage and protect the world’s water resources and ensure that Canada,

and the world, has the research and expertise needed to understand our water systems in an era

of rapid societal and environmental change. Since its inception, GIWS is dedicated to protect our

precious freshwater resources, which is a need for the world’s growing demand for sustainable

food production; mitigating the risk of water-related disasters such as floods, droughts, and fires

and predicting and forecasting extreme global change with advanced remote sensing and

modelling techniques. GIWS respects the indigenous ways of living, land-based learning, and

understands the profound changes that have occurred due to both climate change and human

actions on their water resources. Hence, we strongly belive in empowering Indigenous

communities in protecting their water resources and health through co-creation and co-

development of research projects that bring traditional knowledge together with western

science.

GIWS is the home of the Global Water Futures (GWF) program (2016-2023) partly funded by the

$77.8 million grant from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF), Government of

Canada, which is the largest university-based fresh-water research program in the world. The

overarching goal of the program is to deliver risk management solutions - informed by leading-

edge water science and supported by innovative decision-making tools - to manage water futures

in Canada and other cold regions where global warming is changing landscapes, ecosystems, and

the water environment.

GIWS is a one-stop-shop for water security research at the USask and manages individual

research programs of more than 94 faculty members from 21 academic units. Since 2011, GIWS

has recruited 16 core faculty members (7 faculty via the CERC program, 8 faculty via the GWF

Program and 1 faculty by the Centennial Enhancement Chair (July, 2019) program), which is

roughly equivalent to creation of a new department.

Following the previous years, 2018-19 has been a successful year to recognize that the GIWS

executive group, core faculty and other members and students, have received diverse awards

and honours. This report highlights the achievements and significant research outcomes of GIWS

members and the initiative undertaken by them to establish new partnerships and collaborations

to focus on GIWS vision for water security, i.e. to protect water resources for the growing demand

of sustainable food production, water functions and services for humans and the environment,

and protection against water-related hazards (flood and drought).

GIWS has strong focus on science communication and science informing policy. During the

reporting year, GIWS/GWF in collaboration with the Environment and Climate Change Canada

(ECCC) organized the first ever national workshop on flow forecasting on February 20-21, 2019,

which was attended by forecasters from all 10 Provinces and 3 Territories, and major hydropower

utilities including BC Hydro, Manitoba Hydro, and ON Power Generation. The purpose of the


workshop was to coordinate GWF and ECCC prediction efforts with those of the provinces and

territories and also have open discussions on issues and needs. In addition, GIWS/GWF convened

a national discussion on the future of water security in Canada on April 11, 2019 in Ottawa, ON.

This event brought together more than 80 water and climate scientists, policy experts, legislators,

and water decision rightholders and stakeholders.

The following timeline chart shows the sequence of achievements of the GIWS since September

2010 to-date.


2. National Leadership – Global Water Futures In September 2016, the University of Saskatchewan (USask) was awarded $77.8 million from the

Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF) (2016-2023) to lead the "Global Water Futures:

Solutions to Water Threats in an Era of Global Change" (GWF) initiative—the largest university-

led water research program ever funded worldwide. With additional partner funding, the total

program budget is $143.7 million over seven years. Led by USask, the initiative is in partnership

with University of Waterloo, McMaster University and Wilfrid Laurier University. GIWS

administers and manages the GWF CFREF for the USask at the request of the USask Office of the

Vice President Research. GWF aims

to transform the way communities,

governments, and industries pre-

pare for and manage water related

risks in an era of unprecedented

change. Dr. John Pomeroy, Distin-

guished Professor at the Depart-

ment of Geography and Planning

(USask) and Canada Research Chair

in Water Resources and Climate

Change is the Director of the GWF

Program.

GWF is a seven-year pan-Canadian

research program focusing on solutions to water threats in the era of global change. Climate

warming and human actions are altering precipitation patterns, reducing snow levels,

accelerating glacier melting, intensifying floods, and increasing risk of droughts, while pollution

from population growth and industrialization is degrading water systems. With such

unprecedented change, it is clear that the historical patterns of water availability are no longer a

reliable guide for the future. Adaptation to these changes will require new science to understand

the changing earth system (changing climate, land, water and ecosystems and their interactions);

new modeling tools that precisely capture these interconnected forces and their societal

implications; new monitoring systems with greater capacity to warn of critical environmental

changes; and more effective mechanisms to translate new scientific knowledge into societal

action. This translates into the grand challenge for water science in Canada and globally: “How

can we best prepare for and manage water futures in the face of dramatically increasing risks?”

Jasper, Alberta


Critical needs for addressing this grand challenge include:

(A) Improved disaster warning. (B) Predicting water futures.

(C) Adapting to change and managing risk. GWF will achieve

this through three interrelated pillars of activity.

The USask-led water research network involves 157

researchers from 15 Canadian Universities and 356

partners/ stakeholders representing a wide range of

disciplines who works with international organizations such

as UNESCO, the World Climate Research Programme,

Future Earth and World Meteorological Organization in

developing the tools and models to mitigate water

disasters, protect the environment, and take advantage of economic opportunities.

Here is a chart showing GWF by the numbers:

2.1 Transformative and Transdisciplinary Science Pillars

2.1.1 Core Modelling and Technical Support

With a strength of 80 highly qualified personnel, GWF core support provides the necessary

underpinning for certain core program objectives and deliverables, specifically:

GWF Activity Pillars


National capability for the modelling needed to deliver key programme goals; and,

Capability for observational science, in particular with respect to key observatories

Support for delivering research that is driven by user-led needs and solutions

GWF also provides core support teams for the programme as follows:

Knowledge Mobilization Support Team

Computer Science Team – Human Computer Interface and Re-engineering Codes

Observatories, Observations, and Data Management Team

Modelling Core Team

o Hydrological and Water Quality Forecasting

o Climate and Diagnostic Hydrological & Water Quality Modeling

o Water Resources Modelling

2.1.2 Transformative Science, Big Data and Decision Tools

The GWF program has funded 21 research projects under Pillars 1 & 2 across

Canada totalling nearly $6.6 million over three years (2018-2021) to tackle some of Canada's

most pressing water-related challenges. In total, 94 researchers from 10 Canadian universities

are involved in collaboration with 37 partners including international institutions, government

agencies, industry partners, non-governmental organizations, and Indigenous communities. The

projects are training 100 highly-qualified personnel and are leveraging the GWF investment of

$6.6 million with an additional $423,000 in cash and $3.2 million of in-kind contributions from

partners.

These 21 projects are delivering on two key areas: transformative science to help us understand,

diagnose and predict change; and developing new decision support systems using new sensors,

analytical procedures, and computer models. These projects complement the previously funded

user-question led Pillar 3 projects, and contribute to a better understanding of snow and rain-

storms, floods and droughts, how to better measure and manage the quality of source waters,

how the surface activities affect the deep groundwater, how to improve water governance and

even how to encourage global water citizenship. The projects led by GIWS Members at USask

are: 1) Collaborative Modelling Framework for Water Futures and Holistic Human Health Effects,

Dr. Lalita Bharadwaj, 2) Old Meets New – Subsurface Hydrogeological Connectivity and

Groundwater Protection, Dr. Grant Ferguson, 3) Developing ‘Omic’ and Chemical Fingerprinting

Methodologies, Dr. Paul Jones, 4) Short-Duration Extreme Precipitation in Future Climate, Dr.

Yangping Li, 5) Prairie Drainage Governance, Dr. Philip Loring, 6) Crowdsourcing Water Science,

Dr. Graham Strickert, 7) Adaptation Governance and Policy Changes in Relation to a Changing

Moisture Regime, Dr. Colin Laroque, 8) Hydrological Processes in Frozen Soils, Dr. Andrew

Ireson, 9) Improved Estimates of Wetland Evaporation, Dr. Warren Helgason. Additional

information is available at https://gwf.usask.ca/science/pillar-1-2-projects.php


2.1.3 User Questions-Led Projects

The GWF program has funded 12 research projects across Canada totaling nearly $16.9 million

over the three years (2017-2020) to tackle some of Canada’s most pressing water-related

challenges. Four projects are led by the University of Saskatchewan, three by the University of

Waterloo, three by McMaster University, one by Wilfrid Laurier University, and one is jointly led

by the University of Manitoba and University of Victoria. The projects led by GIWS Members at

USask are: 1) Next Generation Solutions to Ensure Healthy Water Resources for Future

Generations, Dr. John Giesy, 2) Forecasting Tools and Mitigation Options for Diverse Bloom-

Affected Lakes, Dr. Helen Baulch, 3) Prairie Water, Dr. Colin Whitfield and Dr. Chris Spence, and

4) Integrated Modelling Program for Canada, Dr. Saman Razavi.

In total, 117 researchers from 15 Canadian universities are involved in the 12 projects. They are

collaborating with 135 partners including international institutions, government agencies,

industry partners, non-governmental organizations, and Indigenous communities. About 278

highly qualified personnel are working on these projects over the next three years.

These projects were selected through an international peer-review process. The $16.9-million

investment in the projects has leveraged another $26.4 million in cash from universities and

partners, as well as $116.5 million in-kind contributions from partners.

The funded projects research include protecting prairie agricultural lands from drought and

floods, mitigating algae blooms in lakes, developing new monitoring systems for Canadian

watersheds using drones and satellites, using environmental DNA to assess ecosystem health,

understanding the impact that changes to mountain snow packs and glaciers will have on drinking

water, and co-create Indigenous water-quality tools with First Nations. Additional information is

available at https://gwf.usask.ca/science/pillar-3-projects.php

2.1.4 Indigenous Community Water Research

Indigenous Communities across Canada, and especially those located in the more northern

latitudes and remote locations, have experienced profound change in the ways they coexisted

with the land, waterways, and plant and animal life. The change is due to both climate and

anthropogenic influences. Working together to address these challenges may address

reconciliation, empowering community partners to design culturally appropriate and

scientifically credible educational opportunities for youth. The human dimension of water is of

strategic relevance to GWF and dedicated significant effort in addressing indigenous water

security and social justice issues in Western and Northern Canada.

In 2017-18, the GWF program has reached out to numerous researchers, Indigenous community

partners and other partners for advice on what water research GWF and Indigenous communities

can conduct together to help address the water issues experienced by Indigenous communities.

Consequently, a workshop was organized in Saskatoon, SK on April 17-18, 2018, and involved 62


attendees including 31 Indigenous community representatives to promote further discussion and

action on these research ideas through development of Indigenous community –

university partnership projects that both meet Indigenous community needs and are in

alignment with the GWF vision/mission. This workshop provided an opportunity for Indigenous

community members and GWF academic researchers to co-develop a strategy for Indigenous

community water research.

While many GWF researchers had existing relationships and research projects in progress with

their Indigenous partners, the workshop provided the first in-person opportunity for everyone to

come together from across the country. The workshop included introductory presentations and

working sessions aimed at identifying the funding opportunity from GWF, and co-designing

expressions of interest and the proposal evaluation criteria of importance to research with

Indigenous communities. The workshop was highly interactive with the discussions and working

sessions focused on building on existing relationships, identifying new potential partnerships,

identifying common research themes and community needs, co-designing proposal elements and

evaluation criteria, and identifying leveraging opportunities with funding partners.

While sharing ideas and potential projects that were emerging, the following research themes

were identified as key importance to research with and in Indigenous communities by the group,

and which could be focus areas for collaboration and knowledge mobilization across projects (not

an exhaustive list):

Citizen science (capacity building; monitoring; data acquisition)

Decision support and visualization (web of knowledge; data sharing; computer apps)

Impacts of floods, droughts, climate change, forestry and water management on water

flow

Environmental flows (quantity; quality; habitat; sediment)

Western and traditional science (overlap; differences; standing)

Cultural strengthening as an outcome of research

Water and health (linking environmental and human health and livelihoods)

GIS and remote sensing tools (permafrost mapping; drones; autonomous sensors)

Governance and policy (legislation; knowledge; sharing; decision-making impact)

A funding of $1.63 million has been approved for 6 projects, which includes 69 academic and

Indigenous community investigators, 14 Indigenous communities, 11 Canadian universities, and

will train 36 highly qualified personnel over 3 years (2018-2021). The projects led by GIWS

Members at USask are: 1) Is our Water Good to Drink? Water-Related Practices, Perceptions and

Traditional Knowledge Indicators for Human Health, Dr. Corinne Schuster-Wallace and Dr. Lalita

Bharadwaj, 2) We need more than just water: Assessing sediment limitation in a large freshwater

delta, Dr. Tim Jardine.

2.1.5 Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

The GWF is committed to ensuring our highly qualified personnel and student population reflect

the diversity of society and that barriers to recruitment, selection, promotion and retention are

removed for members of systematically disadvantages groups – particularly women, Indigenous

peoples, people with disabilities and visible minorities. GWF is committed to diversity

recruitment/retention, career development, and recognizing members of equity groups,

including integrating the 10 key principles of the Athena Scientific Women’s Academic Network

(SWAN) Charter into our policies, practices, and action plans, and culture. GWF is trying to role

model equity through membership on our Oversight Committee (female PI & 2 out of 5 members

are female), Strategic Management Committee (4 female out of 10 members), and panels,

including workshops and Annual Science Meeting. We are also trying to implement principles

outlined in the NSERC “Guide for Applicants: Considering equity, diversity and inclusion in your

application”. https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/_doc/EDI/Guide_for_Applicants_EN.pdf

The following chart shows the equity, diversity and inclusion stats provided by the Federal CFREF

Secretariat on GWF compared to total stats from 18 CFREF projects across Canada. GWF is

granted above average in all of the categories except for the Indigenous people category. This

could be due to fact that 178 personnel did not respond to the self-identification survey and that

the Indigenous Communities co-led water research projects started in December 2018. Having

said that, we will continue to adhere to the principle of equity, diversity and inclusion and will

strive to better ourselves over coming years.

* In keeping with the Privacy Act, if the number of respondents who self-identified as belonging to one of the four

groups is less than five, it is not provided to protect the privacy of the respondents.

As part of the Operations Team Meeting agenda, various discussion sessions were organized to

identify gaps and seek input on best practices that could be implemented to further strengthen

the GWF research and networking activities. Meeting attendees were organized into 10 groups

for Breakout Discussions focused on 4 topics: a) Forecasting and Modelling; b) Computer Science

and Data Management; c) Knowledge Mobilization and Communications; and d) Core Teams

Integration. In addition, a group discussion also ensued on the topic of Indigenous Communities

Water Research.

2.3 2nd Annual Science Meeting

GWF met for its 2nd Annual Open Science Meeting at TCU place in Saskatoon from May 15-17,

2019 and it was hosted by the University of Saskatchewan and co-hosted by Wanuskewin

Heritage Park. The meeting's primary purpose was to provide the GWF community with an

opportunity to come together and share their scientific findings and outcomes, activities and

achievements with the GWF community and users/stakeholders.

With over 500 attending, 282 poster and oral presentations and 6 keynote plenary presentations,

this was the largest water science meeting ever held in Canada. The meeting was open to all

members and affiliates of the GWF Program, its extended community of partners, and others

wanting to connect. It included many exciting, informative, and unique events and activities

meant to review and better link together GWF’s technical and scientific advancements, while

promoting further development and training of early career researchers, Indigenization and

decolonization of GWF in the spirit of reconciliation, and engagement with partners and

stakeholders.

The meeting was notable and unique for including significant contributions throughout from

GWF Indigenous community co-led water research projects across Canada, and an Indigenous

cultural sharing and learning exchange held at Wanuskewin Heritage Park. This involved local

community Elders and members, Wanuskewin interpretive staff, and the Office of Indigenous

Initiatives at USask, who shared knowledge of the history, culture, spirituality and worldview of

the Indigenous Peoples of the region.

Parallel thematic sessions focused on: (i) climate and hydrology, (ii) human dimensions and

hydro-economics, (iii) ecosystems and water quality, and (iv) modeling advancements. These

sessions revealed the remarkable range and quality of research being undertaken across GWF

and fostered collaboration, synthesis and discussions on research impact with partners and users.

Plenary sessions featured keynote talks by high-level scientists and leaders on key issues relevant

to GWF, linking with each of the themes covered in parallel sessions. Plenaries also included

highlights of some of the research accomplishments from the GWF Program, and provided an


opportunity for several rounds of lightning talks—2-minute short summaries to draw attention

to individual posters.

3. International Engagement and Aspirations Water Security is one of the greatest challenges for humankind, with global implications. There

is a need: a) to develop local and regional studies that are of global significance, and to share that

information, b) to address key water challenges around the world, and c) to provide students and

researchers with new insights and tools to address these problems. International collaboration

and cooperation therefore play a critical role in advancing water science to deliver sustainable

solutions.

GIWS strongly believes that internationalization of higher education embraces the mobility of

faculty and students, educational aids and international cooperation, and curriculum

internationalization. In other words, internationalization of higher education includes faculty and

student exchange, joint teaching and research programs, as well as international curriculum

development and delivery.

GIWS’s philosophy has been to give Canadian students international experience and to give

international students Canadian experiences. Our students and postdoctoral fellows represents

ethnic and gender diversity representing a mixing of cultures – scientifically and sociologically –

which are the key to breakthroughs.

3.1 Leadership of International Programs

GIWS is the host of the World Climate Research Program’s (WCRP), only Regional Hydroclimate

Project in North America – Global Water Futures (GWF) - and also hosts the WCRP’s Global

Hydroclimate Project & UNESCO’s International Hydrological Program - International Network

for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology (INARCH). In addition, GIWS is the Canadian node for

the Sustainable Water Futures Program with the Future Earth programme. Recently, GIWS-USask

has been approved as the contributing organization to the World Meteorological Organization

through the GWF program.

3.1.1 World Climate Research program

GWF is one of the three Regional Hydroclimate Projects of the Global Energy and Water

Exchanges projects (GEWEX) of the UN World Climate Research Programme that aims to improve

the understanding and prediction of a region’s weather, climate, and hydrology. This partnership

allows greater access to global modelling and satellite data, and in turn, provides a forum for

GWF to communicate research results to the international community.

3.1.2 UNESCO & World Climate Research Program

The International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology (INARCH) project is led by

John Pomeroy, Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change. INARCH is a

Global Hydroclimate Programme (GHP), cross-cut project of WCRP’s GEWEX and a recognized

contribution to the world water security initiative of UNESCO’s International Hydrological


Programme. The overall objective of INARCH is to better understand alpine cold region

hydrological processes, improve their prediction and find consistent measurement strategies. To

achieve this objective it is necessary to develop transferable and validated model schemes of

different complexity that can support research in data-sparse mountain headwaters where

climate change impacts on water resources are anticipated to be very severe. INARCH has 25

intensely instrumented high-mountain research catchments in North and South America, Europe

and Asia that form a vast outdoor intercomparison laboratory. By combining the expertise

of over 40 principal collaborators from 17 countries, INARCH addresses important issues such as

snow, glacier and permafrost hydrology; representation of snow and ice in hydrological land

surface models, model downscaling in complex terrain, and improving the prediction of climate

change impacts in the mountain headwaters that support water resources for half the world’s

population. [www.usask.ca/inarch]

3.1.3 Future Earth – Sustainable Water Future Program

The Sustainable Water Future Program (Water Future) is a global research programme

established under Future Earth [http://www.futureearth.org/] and aims to provide the

knowledge and support to accelerate transformations to a ‘more sustainable water world’. The

GIWS has developed a memorandum of understanding to establish a collaborative Partnership,

founded on the principles of collaboration and cooperation, to provide expertise and resources

for undertaking coordinated and strategic research activities that will underpin the sustainable

management and use of water in this time of significant global environmental change. The broad

aim is to enhance the contribution of strategic scientific and technical research and innovation

to the sustainable management of the hydrological cycle, including rivers, groundwater and

wetlands. Consequently, the GIWS through the GWF program is now considered as the Canadian

hub and a secretariat to support Canadian engagement with Water Futures in order to build links

to the international community and Future Earth. GIWS publicizes the activities and

achievements of the program with a particular emphasis on global cold regions, and enhance the

contribution of strategic scientific and technological research and innovation to the sustainable

management of the hydrological cycle, including rivers, glaciers, snowpacks, rivers, groundwater,

permafrost and wetlands.

3.1.4 World Meteorological Organization

GIWS through the GWF program is now a contributing organisation to the World Meteorological

Organization (WMO) through the Executive Council Panel of Experts on Polar and High Mountain

Observations, Research and Services (EC PHORS), which promote and coordinate relevant

programmes that are carried out in the Antarctic, Arctic and high mountain regions by nations

and by groups of nations.


4. Training

4.1 Notable Short Courses

The University of Saskatchewan Centre for Hydrology and the GWF with the assistance of the

Canadian Society for Hydrological Sciences offered an intensive course in Kananaskis on the

Physical Principles of Hydrology with particular relevance to Canadian conditions at the

University of Calgary’s Biogeoscience Institute’s Barrier Lake Station in the Kananaskis Valley

from January 10-21, 2019. The course was intended for hydrology and water resources graduate

students and early to midlevel career water resource engineers, hydrologists, aquatic ecologists

and technologists who either are working directly in hydrology and water resources or are looking

to broaden their understanding of hydrological systems and processes.

[http://www.usask.ca/hydrology/CSHS_PoH_ShortCourse_2019.php]

During this course, factors governing hydrological processes in Canadian landscapes were

discussed including precipitation, interception, energy balance, snow accumulation, snowmelt,

glaciers, evaporation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, groundwater movement and streamflow

routing and hydraulics. These processes were framed within the context of distinctly Canadian

landscape features such as high mountains, glaciers, peatlands, prairies, tundra, boreal forests,

frozen rivers and seasonally frozen ground. Students were exposed to an overview of each

subject, with recent scientific findings and new innovative theories, tools and techniques. They

completed numerical and essay assignments to develop skills in problem solving and in

synthesizing complex hydrological concepts. Field examinations in nearby environments and

research basins enhanced the learning experience.

Hydrology (2019)


4.2 Graduate Program in Water Security

The Members of GIWS proposed the professional Master of Water Security (MWS) in 2016

(administered by the School of Environment and Sustainability), which is a 12-month program of

study that prepares graduates to investigate and address water security issues of regional,

national and international significance. MWS students get training in science, planning, and policy

analysis before they can apply these skills in a major project or placement. The class strength

each year has been increasing with students from diverse interdisciplinary backgrounds accepted

from all over the world and Canada. In 2018-2019, this cross-disciplinary, project and course-

based master's degree placed students for their summer projects at various research,

government and non-government organizations. These projects have strenghtened GIWS

connection and partnership with organizations such as the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency,

Environment Canada, Ministry of Environment, Government of Northwest Territories, etc.

Additionally, the School of Environment and Sustainability (USask) and GIWS developed

international project and placement options in China and Sub-Saharan Africa. Also, the MWS

course is now offered at Beijing Normal University (BNU) in Beijing, China; where the faculty

members of the GIWS deliver in class and webinar training to graduates in China.

4.3 Career and Professional Development

GIWS strongly believes in professional development of graduate students and postdoctoral

fellows, particularly international scholars. In order to achieve this objective, on behalf of GWF,

Prof. Jeffrey McDonnell, Associate Director, Global Institute for Water Security, University of

Saskatchewan offered a half-a-day workshop on “The Future Professoriate” organized by the

GWF Young Professionals during the 1st Annual Science Meeting in June 2018 to shed light on

and facilitate discussions regarding the workings of academia for graduate students and

postdoctoral fellows interested in pursuing academic careers. In addition, students and post-


doctoral fellows were advised in “creating a research brand” of their own ambitions and for a

successful and satisfying research career.

2019 Distinguished Lecturers


2019 Women in Water Lecture Series

4.4 International Training

GIWS has already established a strong foundation for training and development of students and

professionals locally in Saskatchewan and Canada, as well as extended its expertise

internationally. GIWS encourages and invites students and professionals from several countries

to be a part of its team and contribute towards its growing excellence in water research. GIWS

welcomes visiting scientist, sabbatical visitors, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and/or

interns from all countries. It also encourages and supports students and professionals to attend

various international conferences, programs, water competitions, short courses, lecture series

and exchange programs.

Here we have listed a few of our many international training and research activities during the

academic year 2018-19: Dr. Markus Brinkmann has supervised and co-supervised graduate and

visiting students from the RWTH Aachen University in Germany. His research within Canada and

Europe has been published in various press releases in Germany. Dr. Grant Ferguson has been

actively supervising graduate students from University of Arizona, USA and was invited to give

lectures at Goettingen University, Germany, and University of Texas and University of Illinois,

USA. Dr. Yangping Li has hosted a summer intern student from University of Pernambuco, Brazil

and several other Visiting Scientists/Fellows from Ningxia University, Ludong University and

China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR), China. Dr. Simon


Papalexiou instructed an invited workshop at the University of Prague on modelling in

hydroclimatic processes. Dr. Andrew Ireson is the Director of the Master of Water Security

program and has been actively leading and assisting students coming from Canada and from

several International countries with a diverse interdisciplinary educational background. Dr.

Saman Razavi has co-supervised graduate students from Gorgon University, Iran and the Indian

Institute of Technology Delhi, India. Additionally, Dr. John Giesy recieved the Erasmus Award

from the European Union in 2018, which funded Dr. Giesy and Dr. Markus Hecker to spend 2

weeks teaching and doing research with colleagues at Masarek University, Czech Republic and

Dr. Klara Hilscherova (Masarek University) to come to USask for two weeks to learn ecogenomics

techniques and analyze samples from the Antarctic. GIWS hosted a one-day workshop (USask-

BNU Joint Research Workshop on Water and Climate Science) including delegates from Beijing

Normal University, China in Saskatoon

GIWS also branded mentoring lectures and short courses were delivered at the Luxembourg

University (China), Beijing Normal University (China), Tsinghua University (China), University of

Birmingham (UK), International Association of Hydrological Sciences (in Montreal), the USA

Critical Zone Early Career Scientists meeting (in San Francisco) and Ludong University (China).

In this brief overview of international training by GIWS during 2018-19, it has not been possible

to do full justice to the work of our members. Therefore, the international collaborations by GIWS

members are listed in the Appendices and specifically Appendix F of this report.


5. Saskatchewan River Basin – A Large-Scale Observatory With support from the Canada

Foundation for Innovation

(CFI), GIWS has established the

Saskatchewan River Basin

(SaskRB; 410,000 km2) as a

large-scale observatory, which

has come to be seen as an

internationally leading initiat-

ive. The multiple dimensions of

water security and the accom-

panying science and manage-

ment challenges, ranging from

issues of water quality and

quantity, anthropogenic activit-

ies, competing societal uses, industrialization, agricultural intensification, extreme weather

events (flooding and drought), etc. are all represented in the SaskRB. The basin, with an area

approximately half the size of France, spans Canada’s three Prairie Provinces of Alberta,

Saskatchewan and Manitoba and faces a climate characterized by extremes and rapid climate

change. Further, the basin encompasses critical environments deemed significant both nationally

and globally.

5.1 Canadian Rockies Hydrological Observatory In Western Canada, the availability

of water is dependent upon cold-

water processes involving snow,

glaciers, wetlands and frozen soils

that control the storage and

delivery of water to river systems.

The CFI-funded Canadian Rockies

Hydrological Observatory includes

Marmot Creek in the sub-alpine

and montain forested Saskatche-

wan River headwaters, Lake O'Hara

alpine sites and the Natural

Resources Canada (NRCan)-funded Columbia Icefield Glacier-Climate Observing System in the

glaciated Athabasca headwaters, Alberta. This provides a cluster of >25 high elevation snow/ice

and hydro-meteorological stations in nested gauged catchments, which helps in improving

understanding and description of governing processes for mountain water supply, improving


Video File: Canadian Rockies Hydrological Observatory https://water.usask.ca/research/saskatchewan-river-basin-

/sites.php


modelling of mountain hydrological systems, and to improve prediction of mountain water

supply. Unique observations of alpine and sub-alpine sub-surface storage and release are

available from Lake O'Hara and Marmot Creek. Alpine treelines in this area are advancing in

elevation where geomorphology and microclimate permit. Provin-cial, territorial and federal

obser-vation stations for flood fore-casting, climate and fire prediction are clustered at both high

and low elevations in the region. The archive Marmot Creek covers most of 50 years. Sibbald

Wetlands is the focus of hydro-ecological research into Rocky Mountain wetlands and the effects

of current and legacy beaver activity.

5.2 Prairies The prairie hydrology is complex and presents a unique set of challenges including the effects of

changing climate on agriculture, flood and drought risk, and water quality. In addition, land

management practices, such as drainage and wetland removal, are changing the landscape and

the ecological services that it provides.

The St. Denis National Wildlife Area site comprises internally drained wetlands, cultivated fields

and pasture, and consists of numerous prairie pothole lakes of varying salinity. The focus is on

runoff processes and pothole lake connectivity, surface-subsurface interactions and salinity

dynamics. Brightwater Creek, near Kenaston, Saskatchewan, represents a mesonet site of

lowland level pasture and cultivated grasslands. Multi-scale monitoring of spatial soil moisture,

groundwater and land-atmosphere interactions is ongoing. Specialised soil moisture

measurement arrays, cosmic ray soil moisture probes, a geological weighing lysimeter coupled

to a network of groundwater observation wells, atmospheric measurements using large aperture

scintillometer and Sonic Detection and Ranging (SODAR) and weather radar provide a unique

concentration of measurements in a Canadian prairie environment. Hydrological connectivity

and the effects of agricultural drainage on flows and water quality is the research focus at Smith

Creek, Saskatchewan. The site has demonstrated the dramatic effects of inter-annual climate

variability on water quality, and a complex response of flood generation and transmission to

agricultural drainage. The effects of agricultural Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) on

flows and water quality, particularly those associated with changing tillage practices and on-farm

reservoirs, are explored at Tobacco Creek, Manitoba. The Swift Current research site in

Saskatchewan is home to AAFC agricultural research runoff plots. Thorough analysis of high

frequency, long-term data, experimental monitoring of the surface hydrology and hydrological

model building and testing are conducted at this site to improve understanding of the

fundamental drivers of threshold-like hydrological runoff responses to snowmelt and rainfall

events in a semi-arid, prairie landscape. Similarly, at semi-arid West Nose Creek site in Alberta,

the studies are focused on groundwater recharge, groundwater hydraulics, surface- groundwater

interaction, snow hydrology, and sustainable watershed management. At the Rosthern research


site in Saskatchewan, the effect of agricultural practices such as stubble height on prairie snow

dynamics, melting, and management is studied.

https://water.usask.ca/research/saskatchewan-river-basin-/sites.php

Research to explore water quality issues in the basin spans the study of the winter

biogeochemistry of lakes to the monitoring of pharmaceutical products and heavy metals in

urban wastewater and storm water. The first major study of pollutant loads and their ecological

impacts for the South Saskatchewan River, Lake Diefenbaker and its tributary, Swift Current

Creek, is underway. This project brings together researchers from the USask (Biology, Toxicology,

Geography, Civil and Geological Engineering, the Schools of Environmental and Sustainability and

Public Health), Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Saskatchewan Water Security

Agency. Lake Diefenbaker is more than 200 kilometers long and plays a major role in the

economic and social development of a large proportion of the province. However, the capability

of the reservoir to continue to provide water of reasonable quality under rapid economic

development and under a changing climate is unknown given nutrient loads and increasing

evidence of eutrophication. A comprehensive evaluation of the sensitivity of the reservoir to

current and future nutrient inputs includes limnology, paleo-limnology, toxicology and

hydrodynamic water quality modelling. A similar study has been initiated for Buffalo Pound Lake,

including real-time water quality monitoring to support treatment of this major source of

drinking water for the cities of Regina and Moosejaw, Saskatchewan.

5.3 Boreal Forest

Key short-term objectives of research conducted at Boreal Forest sites are to assess the

vulnerability of ecosystem response to climate variability and change, and the performance of

land surface schemes for simulating hydrological processes in the Boreal Forest. Longer-term

objectives are to synthesize, integrate and upscale hydro-ecological understanding of stand-scale

processes to watershed scales. The western boreal forest study area traverses the latitudinal and

altitudinal extents of boreal forests in Canada and the range of permafrost conditions across

which these forests exist (non-permafrost through to deep, continuous permafrost). Western

permafrost-free boreal sites include the Boreal Ecosystem Research and Monitoring Sites

(BERMS) in Saskatchewan that derive from the mid-1990s NASA-Canada Boreal Ecosystem-

Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) and were subsequently expanded to the Environment Canada (EC)

BERMS Programme. These sites in the Boreal Plains ecozone are characterized by heterogeneous

forest types interspersed with

wetlands and frequent wildfire

disturbance, and include Black

Spruce, Aspen, Jack Pine and Fen.

Additional data sources in this

region include Northern Alberta

flux tower sites, developed in

collaboration with the Oil Sands

industry, as well as provincial and

federal observation stations for

climate and fire prediction.

5.4 River Deltas

The Saskatchewan River, Peace-Athabasca, and Slave River deltas are biologically diverse and

complex systems of rivers, lakes, and wetlands. These deltas support a range of fish, wildlife, bird,

and plant species. The ecological changes in these deltas are often an indicator of issues arising

in our river systems; if there are problems, people in the delta are often the first to notice. These

deltas continue to play an important role in supporting traditional, subsistence, and cultural

activities of the Indigenous peoples who have occupied these regions since time immemorial.

Historically, inland deltas were also a central part of the fur trade industry.

Located near the Saskatchewan/ Manitoba border, the Saskatchewan River Delta is a complex

series of abandoned and active river channels, lakes and wetlands. Home to Cumberland

Marshes, which has been designated as an Important Bird Area, this region experiences the

accumulated effects of upstream water use, including abstractions and power generation. Since

the beginning of the last century, annual discharge has been reduced by approximately 30%. In

addition, winter base-flow is now higher and spring freshets have been dampened due to storage

Video File: Boreal Forest https://water.usask.ca/research/saskatchewan-river-basin-

/sites.php


in upstream reservoirs. Experts in climate, hydrology, ecology and social science are addressing

the cumulative repercussions of these changes in flow for the production of fish, water-birds and

mammals, and for the activities and livelihoods of local communities. The aim of this research is

to develop scenarios and an operational plan to provide for sustainable hydropower output

without endangering the Delta habitat in the long-term.

6. Major Research Facilities This section highlights a few of the major laboratory facilities that are part of the GIWS.

6.1 Multipurpose Overlay Site Testing

Facility

The GIWS Multipurpose Overlay Site Testing

(MOST) facility is a research and testing

facility that serves as a hub for the

development of hillslope hydrological models

in relation to mine cover systems and

landscape engine-eering. The facility is funded

by Western Eco-nomic Diversification and

includes a strong partnership with O’Kane

Consulting, a world leader in mine cover design.

Located across the street from the GIWS offices at the National Hydrology Research Centre, the

facility is the first of its kind to provide pilot scale cover trials with replications of key processes

(placement, climate, slope/aspect, vegetation) and the ability to evaluate and characterize the

key mechanisms controlling the water dynamics in soils and soil cover design.

Soil covers are designed to return a site to its natural condition and isolate waste material so it

does not damage the environment. The partially climate-controlled MOST facility allows

companies and researchers to design and test soil cover systems under varying climatic

conditions before building covers on-site, saving both time and money in the design and testing

phases. [https://mostfacility.usask.ca/green/]

6.2 Green Roof Environmental and Engineering Facility The mission of Green Roof Environment and EngiNeering (GREEN) facility is to help industry

improve green roof design in cold regions,

improve risk mitigation, troubleshoot design

challenges, reduce costs and improve accu-

racy of green roof water retention assess-

ments. The GREEN facility has the capacity to

develop, improve and test: drainage systems,

membrane effectiveness, water proofing,

water quality and retention, reduction of

potable water use, snowmelt runoff, reduct-

ions in the energy requirements for heating

/cooling of interior spaces, and promote the

MOST Open House for Industries

reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by reducing building’s energy requirements. Eng-ineering

tests utilizing load cells and infrared thermal imaging are performed to evaluate the performance

of water drainage and water proofing systems, respectively.

The GREEN Facility is bridging the critical gap between small scale (e.g. soil cores), typically

unrepresentative lab experiments, and complex, time consuming and costly large-scale

constructed roofs. [https://mostfacility.usask.ca/green/]

6.3 Smart Water Systems Laboratory

The SWSL was recently created with support

from Western Economic Diversification Canada

to develop novel water and snow sensing

technologies and bring them to pre-commercial-

ization and commercialization stage. The SWSL

will transform the observation of Canadian

waters by detecting change in water quantity

and quality at high resolutions. SWSL is devel-

oping novel sensors that measure snowpacks,

ice, open water, flooding, streamflow, soil mois-

ture, wetlands, vegetation and algal growth.

Many of these sensors will be deployed on specialized all-weather drones (unmanned aerial

systems) for rapid deployment across Canada with first applications in the Prairies and the

mountain headwaters of the Saskatchewan River Basin.

[https://water.usask.ca/research/Smart%20Water%20Systems%20Laboratory.php]

6.4 Cold Water Laboratory

In Alberta, the Centre for Hydrology maintains

premises at the Coldwater Laboratory in Can-

more, AB. The Coldwater Laboratory places over

20 researchers and students in the headwater

region of 3 major river basins (Saskatchewan,

Columbia and Mackenzie river basins) to study

the impacts of climate change and extreme

events on water resources in the region. This

facility includes offices and a laboratory and

provides easy access to over 35 high elevation

stations within the southern Canadian Rockies.

6.5 Environmental DNA Analytical Laboratory

The Environmental DNA (eDNA) laboratory offers the widest possible range of capabilities

relevant to water quality, including aquatic chemistry and toxicology. The lab currently has two

UHR-MS systems, one interfaced to a liquid chromatography (LC) system and the other to a gas

chromatograph (GC). They are also capable of a wide range of analyses for small molecules both

man-made and natural. In addition to identification and quantification of both natural and

synthetic molecules, the capabilities include proteomics and metabolomics as well as charact-

erization of large molecules, such as natural dissolved organic matter, including humic and fulvic

acids, tannins, peptides and amino acids. Depending on the specific application, the instruments

are also capable of automated sample extraction and processing for increased accuracy and

decreased labor costs. Our aim with the next LOI would be to determine who would be

interested in accessing these capabilities and how we might support the various user needs.

6.6 Aquatic Toxicology Research Facility

The ATRF, the only facility of its type in Canada

and one of only a few in the world, is a highly

sophisticated laboratory for aquatic toxicology

research. Located at the Toxicology Centre, the

7,100 sq-ft laboratory was specifically designed to

provide areas with different water qualities and

temperatures to perform both static and dynamic

toxicological experiments with algae, crustaceans,

insects, clams, amphibians or fish. In-house

research facilities include five walk-in controlled-

environment chambers and an analytical laboratory for water quality analysis.

6.7 Saskatchewan Water Chemistry and Ecology Lab

Run by Dr. Helen Baulch, the SaskWatChe Lab has the capacity to analyze for nutrient chemistry

and dissolved gas chemistry. For this, the lab uses a discrete chemical analyzer, a gas

chromatographer, and a spectrophotometer. The lab recently acquired a MIMS (membrane inlet

mass spectrometer) which can be used for dissolved gas chemistry. The lab has expertise in

aquatic ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry, specifically, understanding the effects of

changing climate and nutrient loads on aquatic ecology and biogeochemistry.

7. Research Themes and Major Projects The area of water security research is broad. To guide our efforts, and based on our current

research strengths, we have identified a set of seven inter-disciplinary research themes,

recognizing the need for deep disciplinary knowledge and the broader disciplinary dimensions of

water security, and addressing challenges of local, regional and global significance.

These themes are supported by fully instrumented research observatories within Saskatchewan

River Basin and Mackenzie River Basin providing data of regional and global significance. Due to

the importance of, and diversity in, its cold region hydro-climate and ecological zones, the rapid

rate of environmental change and the need for improved understanding, diagnosis and modelling

of change, the basin also raises numerous globally-relevant science challenges.

7.1 Climate Change and Water Security

Developing sophisticated understanding and

modelling of current and future effects of

climate change on hydrology, ecology and

water resource systems, and the associated

land-atmosphere feedbacks.

7.2 Land-water Management and

Environmental Change

Exploring the effects of agricultural and urban

land and water management on water quality and water movement through a watershed, as well

as the potential for agricultural beneficial management practices (BMPs) to mitigate adverse

effects.

7.3 Sustainable Development of Natural Resources

Developing new science and management practices that could significantly change the way water

is used, how land and water are managed, and

how environmental risks are assessed and

managed in natural resources development.

7.4 Socio-hydrology

This program encompasses both the human

drivers of hydrological change and the social

processes through which hydrological science

is translated and communicated to relevant

decision-makers.

7.5 Water and Health

We are looking at issues that are critical to society, such as drinking water quality, water hygiene

and sanitation, transmission of waterborne and water-related diseases in an ecosystem, aquatic

pollution and effects on the food chain, wastewater re-use, extreme events such as flooding and

drought, and health-based water quality standards.

7.6 Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies

We are assessing impacts of contaminants on environmental and human health by addressing

challenges that include appropriate technology for rural communities; development of advanced

water treatment technologies to tackle emerging contaminants in our water systems, improved

technologies for the treatment of industrial wastes, including those generated by natural

resource extraction, and improved technologies for remediation of pollution.

7.7 Groundwater and Hydrogeology

This theme is exploring major challenges to quantify the extent of groundwater resources and

their quality, the natural recharge, the long–term impacts of abstractions and waste disposals,

the impact of resource development, and hence to provide the information needed for

sustainable development.

7.8 Major Projects

Members of the GIWS are working efficiently on these themes and collaborating with several

partners and stakeholders to follow the Mission and Vision of GIWS. Some of the major on-going

projects by members of the GIWS have been listed below:

7.8.1 Next Generation Solutions to Ensure Healthy Water Resources for Future Generations, John

Giesy, University of Saskatchewan1

Emerging and transformative technologies in biology and bioinformatics provide new

capability to address urgent environmental needs. In this project, Environmental DNA (eDNA)

and next generation sequencing (NGS) methods will be applied to monitor current status and

predict future trends of the structures and functions of aquatic ecosystems exposed to stressors

in Canada. Together these technologies have the potential to provide more rapid,

comprehensive, and objective assessments of ecosystem status, including the presence of rare

and endangered species, in real time, while reducing costs. This research program will provide

end-users with new tools for assessing effects of environmental stressors; both natural and those

caused by humans, such as changes in land use, climate, agricultural runoff and wastewater

influents.

35

7.8.2 Forecasting Tools and Mitigation Options for Diverse Bloom-Affected Lakes (FORM-

BLOOM), Helen Baulch, University of Saskatchewan2

Solving the problem of algal blooms requires an understanding of how the physical

environment links to geochemistry and bloom ecology, and this understanding must exist on the

timescale upon which blooms develop and collapse – minutes to hours to weeks. In addition,

while solving blooms is a grand challenge, managing their impact is a key interim goal. Since these

blooms have been increasing in Canada and across the globe, the need to understand the current

health risks and how to mitigate these blooms through a science-based approach is critical. This

project will aim to reduce current risks via improved communication and forecasting and

understanding the triggers of cyanobloom initiation and collapse to inform in-lake mitigation

measures and improving our use of rapidly evolving new technologies to mitigate risk.

7.8.3 Prairie Water, Colin Whitfield, University of Saskatchewan and Chris Spence, Environ-ment

and Climate Change Canada3

Prairie Water will address sustainable water management and enhance water resilience

under a changing climate across three interrelated themes: hydrology, groundwater, wetlands,

and governance. This project will include a set of Prairie-specific large-basin and local watershed-

scale models that predict runoff, groundwater recharge and the distribution, abundance and

persistence of wetlands across the region under changing climate and its variability; a set of

decision support tools to help users understand the impacts of wetland drainage and restoration;

new assessment of groundwater resources and their sustainable management; and a multi-

stakeholder process for how to mobilize science with communities and governance.

7.8.4 Integrated Modelling Program for Canada (IMPC), Saman Razavi, University of Saskat-

chewan4

This project will seek to provide an integrated platform for forecasting, prediction and

decision making under future water uncertainty. Advanced modelling tools will be developed and

integrated to represent interactions across climatic, hydrological, ecological, economic, and

management systems. These tools will enable prediction of extreme events such as floods and

droughts and provide a new paradigm for model development, integrated water management

and user engagement. Working closely in collaboration with stakeholders and user communities,

this integrated modelling and management platform will identify tipping points and critical trade-

offs for decision analysis and deliver optimal solutions using state-of-the-art tools for multi-

criteria decision analysis under deep uncertainty. In addition, advanced visualization tools will

enable researchers to improve communication and decision support with user groups. This

36

project will develop a modelling capability for the prediction and management of Canada’s seven

major river basins.

7.8.5 Is our Water Good to Drink? Water-Related Practices, Perceptions and Traditional

Knowledge (TK) Indicators for Human Health, Corinne Schuster-Wallace and Lalita Bharadwaj,

University of Saskatchewan5

This project will explore the similarities and differences between Western Science indicators

of what is considered “safe to drink” and the TK concept of what is “good to drink”. This will be

achieved through an exploration of water-related health, how human health (encompassing

physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional health) is affected by “good” and “bad” water,

development of appropriate TK indicators, and community case studies. Through this process

and its outcomes, communities will be able to better understand and assess water-related health

in Indigenous communities through a TK system and be able to share this with government

agencies currently responsible for water management, remediation, and quality monitoring.

7.8.6 We need more than just water: Assessing sediment limitation in a large freshwater delta,

Tim Jardine, University of Saskatchewan6

The project examines whether sediment restoration may be feasible for the once vibrant

Saskatchewan River delta ecosystem. Together, the team will determine historical

understandings of floods and sediment transport through interviews with elders in the

community whose lifespan predates upstream dam construction. The team will test for toxicity

in the sediments that are currently depositing in reservoirs to ensure that moving sediment back

into the delta will not come with harmful side effects. Additionally, the team plans to create a

model of sediment transport to determine where sediment will deposit under different scenarios

(reduced or increased flow, addition of sediment, construction of additional dams and weirs).

The major outcome of this work will be an improved understanding of the feasibility of sediment

restoration downstream of dams. And the developed water and sediment transport model and

simulation tool can be applied to other deltas and floodplains that are subject to similar upstream

stressors.

7.8.7 Old Meets New: Subsurface Hydrogeological Connectivity and Groundwater Protection,

Grant Ferguson, University of Saskatchewan7

The first phase of this project is conducting a review of the available data for western Canada

to improve understanding of hydrogeological connectivity. The team will select a number of case

studies to represent typical hydrogeological environments of concern and produce a series of

maps and databases. Water chemistry will be compiled for various hydrogeological units to

improve ability to fingerprint and differentiate groundwaters. This data will be supplemented by

5 https://gwf.usask.ca/science/projects/i1-schusterwallace.php#Investigators6 https://gwf.usask.ca/science/projects/i4-jardine.php7 https://gwf.usask.ca/science/projects/p1-old-meets-new.php


37

sampling and analysis of water from provincial groundwater monitoring networks and other

sampling opportunities from industry. Numerical models will be used to interpret existing

physical and chemical hydrogeological data for a series of case studies and improve conceptual

understanding of these systems. The second phase will also focus on developing additional case

studies within western Canada to test and improve the findings of the first phase.

7.8.8 Omic’ and Chemical Fingerprinting Methodologies using Ultrahigh-resolution Mass Spectro-

metry (UHR-MS) for Geochemistry and Healthy Waters, Paul Jones, University of Saskatchewan8

‘Omics’ approaches such as proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics along with chemical

fingerprinting technologies can be used as powerful tools to monitor the current status and to

predict future trends in ecosystem structure and function. As an example, organisms living in

Canada’s north and at high altitudes, must annually adjust their metabolisms and the lipid

components in their cellular membranes to adapt to changing temperatures. Natural

constituents of surface waters, such as humic and fulvic acids, proteins and amino acids are

important for regulating geochemical processes, but are complex and to date have not been well

characterized. In addition, toxic products of HABs are complex and have been difficult to

characterize, but the newly established UHR-MS systems will allow for much better

characterization of these important compounds. The longer-term goal (years 4-7) is to work with

researchers to apply these techniques to assess aquatic resources in support of end-user needs

and priorities of the GWF platform.

7.8.9 Short-duration Extreme Precipitation in Future Climate, Yanping Li, University of

Saskatchewan9

Understanding of the physical processes affecting short-duration (less than 24 hours)

extreme precipitation and their possible changes in the warming world is critical for many of

GWF’s users. This study makes extensive use of a convection-permitting-modeling tool running

in a pseudo-global warming mode, and comparing it with existing simulations by global and

regional climate models. The team proposes to work specifically on the following four questions:

i) Does temperature scaling work at convective-permitting resolutions for short-duration local

precipitation extremes? ii) How will the characteristics of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs)

such as the precipitation intensity, size, and life-span of storms change in the future? iii) What

are the underlying physical processes that result in changes in MCSs and storm properties? iv)

How do extreme precipitation features scale across resolution from GCMs to RCMs to convective

permitting WRF? The proposed work will lead to a better understanding of the physical

soundness of future precipitation projections by climate models, thereby providing a scientific

foundation for the proper use of model projections that many GWF’s users depend on.

8. Significant Research Outcomes GIWS members are involved in a broad set of water security research projects ranging from basic

research to applied research of local and global significance. Our research projects have produced

many outcomes to advance scientific understanding and its socio-economic significance. Selected

examples are provided below.

8.1 Opportunities To Mitigate Nutrient Losses To Surface Waters In The Northern Great Plains10

The Northern Great Plains is a key region to global food production. It is also a region of water

stress that includes poor water quality associated with high concentrations of nutrients.

Agricultural nitrogen and phosphorus loads to surface waters need to be reduced, yet the unique

characteristics of this environment create challenges. The nutrients in these plains are primarily

transported in dissolved form during the snowmelt period and limits the efficacy of many

beneficial management practices (BMPs) commonly used in other regions. This study discusses

soil and water management BMPs through a regional lens—first understanding key aspects of

hydrology and hydrochemistry affecting BMP efficacy, then discussing the merits of different

BMPs for nutrient control.

8.2 Potential For Agricultural Impoundments To Act As Sinks Of Nitrous Oxide11

Surface waters within agricultural landscapes experience the full impact of Nitrogen pollution

and eutrophication and can contribute substantially to total landscape N2O emissions. However,

N2O measurements to date have focused on flowing waters. Small artificial waterbodies remain

greatly understudied in the context of agricultural N2O emissions. This study provides a regional

analysis of N2O measurements in small (<0.01 km2 ) artificial reservoirs, of which an estimated 16

million exist globally and shows that 67% of reservoirs in Canada’s largest agricultural area were

N2O sinks. The study noted the overestimation of measured fluxes from previously published

models based on agricultural reservoirs, challenging the widely held view that eutrophic N-

enriched waters are sources of N2O.

8.3 Detecting Brown Trout eDNA Using A Designed Specific Dual-Labelled Probe In A Stream12

Despite many studies having made significant progress for the future use of eDNA in terms

of ecosystem composition and detection of invasive/rare species in inland waters, much remains

unknown about the transport and fate of eDNA under natural environmental conditions. In this

study, a specific dual-labelled probe was designed to detect brown trout (Salmo trutta, L.) eDNA

further to describe the fate of eDNA released from an aquaculture facility into the low mountain

range stream in Wehebach, Germany. The results of the study indicates that the release of DNA

from brown trout might be life stage and/or age-dependent. Under natural environmental

conditions (during mid-summer) a rapid and steady decrease of brown trout eDNA concentration

downstream of the main source was observed. The factors driving this decrease are expected to

be manifold. Biomass of fish appeared not to be the only parameter governing the rate of DNA

release, and the life stage and age of fish might be a potential factor to be considered.

8.4 Do Hillslope‐Scale Processes Matter To Predicting Global Change?13

Hillslopes are key landscape features that organize water availability on land. Valley bottoms

are wetter than hilltops, and sun-facing slopes are warmer and drier than shaded ones. This

hydrologic organization leads to systematic differences in soil and vegetation between valleys

and hilltops, and between sunny and shady slopes. Although these patterns are fundamental to

understanding the structures and functions of water and terrestrial ecosystems, they are too fine

grained to be represented in global-scale Earth System Models. Here we bring together Critical

Zone scientists who study the interplay of vegetation, the porous upper layer of the continental

crust from vegetation to bedrock, and moisture dynamics deep into the weathered bedrock

underlying hillslopes and Earth System Model scientists who develop global models, to ask: Do

hillslope-scale processes matter to predicting global change? The answers will help scientists

understand where and why hillslopes matter, and to better predict how terrestrial ecosystems,

including societies, may affect and be affected by our rapidly changing planet.

8.5 Competition For Shrinking Window Of Low Salinity Groundwater14

Declining water tables and near-surface contamination are driving groundwater users to

construct deeper wells in many US aquifer systems. This has been a successful short-term

mitigation measure where deep groundwater is fresh and free of contaminants. Nevertheless,

vertical salinity profiles are not well-constrained at continental-scales. This study quantify depths

that aquifer systems transition from fresh-to-brackish and where oil and gas activities are

widespread in sedimentary basins across the United States. The study concludes that fresh

groundwater is less abundant in several key US basins than previously thought; therefore drilling

deeper wells to access fresh groundwater resources is not feasible extensively across the

continent. Findings in this study illustrate that groundwater stores are being depleted not only

by excessive withdrawals, but due to injection, and potentially contamination, from the oil and

gas industry in areas of deep fresh and brackish groundwater.

8.6 Prairie Pond Model15

This is a coupled flow and stable isotope mass balance model that can be used to partition

pond loses between evaporation and infiltration, using observations of oxygen-18 and

deuterium. The prairie pond model is written in Python 2.7. To run the model, it is necessary to

configure the inputs in the file Input.xlsx and to place the script in the same folder as the input.

The script can run in three modes: 1) simulate partitioning of evaporation and infiltration with

fixed parameters; 2) optimize the proportion of evaporation and infiltration to fit water level and

isotopic composition of the pond; 3) run a sensitivity analysis. The script can also be adapted to

other run cases.

8.7 Modelling Approach For Operational Real-Time Ice-Jam Flood Forecasting16

Karl-Erich Lindenschmidt et al., 2019a, developed a novel stochastic modelling approach to

operationally forecast ice-jam floods. The approach was first developed for the Town of Peace

River on the Peace River, in collaboration with Stantec and NSERC. Then refined for the Athabasca

River at Fort McMurray, in collaboration with the Governments of Alberta and

Newfoundland/Labrador (NFLD), the Canadian Space Agency and C-Core. The approach has been

implemented in the Gov’t of NFLD’s flood forecasting system to operationally forecast ice-jam

floods on the (Atlantic) Churchill River in Labrador, in collaboration with KGS Group, 4DM Inc.

and the Gov’t of NFLD. This first ice-jam flood forecasting system has ever been developed for

operational use worldwide. The method is currently being implemented into the flood

forecasting systems of the Exploits and Humber rivers in Newfoundland in collaboration with

Wood, Hatch Inc. and the Gov`t of NFLD. The forecasting methodology is also tested for the Red

River in partnership with Manitoba Infrastructure.

8.8 Can Stated Measures Of Willingness-To-Accept Be Valid?17

Willingness-to-accept (WTA) questions have been largely abandoned in stated preference

empirical work in favor of eliciting willingness-to-pay (WTP) responses, mainly due to perceived

unreliability of questions that ask respondents for compensation amounts. This paper reassesses

whether stated WTA welfare measures can be valid in public and private good contexts. The study

conducts two sets of laboratory experiments to analyze whether elicitation format, survey design

and framing, and follow-up questions can generate truthful responses. The results are consistent

with the WTP literature and suggest that WTA values can be valid as long as responses have

consequences for respondents. For the private good experiment, the study focuses on whether

respondents are motivated to affect the price or the provision of the good. The study finds that

strategic behavior is present and in the direction expected by theory. Survey framing and the use

of follow-up questions can provide bounds on the value estimates.

8.9 Increase Of Precipitation Extremes Under Global Warming18

Global warming is expected to change the regime of extreme precipitation. Physical laws

translate increasing atmospheric heat into increasing atmospheric water content that drives

precipitation changes. This study performs a global analysis of 8,730 daily precipitation records

focusing on the 1964–2013 period when the global warming accelerates. The analysis offers new

insights and reveals (1) global and zonal increasing trends in the frequency of extremes that are

highly unlikely under the assumption of stationarity and (2) magnitude changes that are not as

evident. This paper has received global attention and appeared in more than 100 news outlets.

The author Simon-Michael Papalexiou gave radio and press interviews including NBC. The

research was twitted by the NBC official account to 6.6 million followers as well as by the official

AGU account to 70,000 followers. It also became a research spotlight at the prestigious EOS

journal.

8.10 The PULSE Model: Simulation Of Snowpack Solute Dynamics To Capture Runoff Ionic

Pulses During Snowmelt19

Early ionic pulse during spring snowmelt can account for a significant portion of the total

annual nutrient load in seasonally snow-covered areas. Very few process-based mathematical

models have been proposed for a diagnostic and prognostic investigation of this phenomenon.

The PULSE model is proposed to simulate ionic pulses in runoff by emulating solute leaching from

snow grains during melt and the subsequent vertical solute transport by meltwater through the

snowpack. The model was applied to two regions, and a total of 4 study sites, that are subject to

significantly different winter climatic and hydrological conditions. For the first time a model

enables the prediction of concentration profiles of the dry (snow) and liquid (wet) fractions within

the snow matrix. Although there is a computational cost associated with the proposed modelling

framework, this study demonstrates that it can provide more detailed information about the

reallocation and transport of ions through snowpacks, which can ultimately be used to improve

nutrient transport predictions during snowmelt.

8.11 VARS-TOOL: A Toolbox For Efficient, And Robust Sensitivity And Uncertainty Analysis20

Developed primarily around the “Variogram Analysis of Response Surfaces” framework,

VARS-TOOL adopts a multi-method approach that enables simultaneous generation of a range of

sensitivity indices, including ones based on derivative, variance, and variogram concepts, from

a single sample. The tool accounts for dynamical properties of Earth and environmental systems

models and provides various sampling strategies including progressive Latin hypercube sampling.

It facilitates handling of high-dimensional models with hundreds of uncertain factors. As a test

bed for training and research, VARS-TOOL provides a set of mathematical test functions and the

(dynamical) HBV-SASK hydrologic model.

8.12 Effect Of Freeze-Thaw Cycles On Phosphorus Release From Riparian Macrophytes21

Storage and removal of nutrients by wetlands and riparian areas is an important process in

understanding catchment nutrient fluxes and in helping to mitigate current issues of

eutrophication in many regions. Effects of strong seasonality changes in cold regions raises

important questions about how ecosystems can be managed to maximize nutrient retention in

the landscape, particularly in light of rapid and ongoing wetland loss. This study assessed how

freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) affect the release of phosphorus (P) from common riparian

macrophytes (Typha spp). The results of the study demonstrates the potential for FTCs to induce

P release from macrophyte tissue, although this is not observed in all cases. The impact of FTCs

on P release was greatest and most consistent when samples were collected earlier in the

growing season. Therefore, this study suggest that specific management such as harvesting

Typha during the growing season, may mitigate the potential for P release due to FTCs.

8.13 The Impact Of Climate Change On The Water Balance Of Oil Sands Reclamation Covers

And Natural Soil Profiles22

This paper evaluates the long-term water balances for reclamation covers on two oil sands

landforms and three natural coarse-textured forest soil profiles using both historical climate data

and future climate projections. Twenty-first century daily precipitation and temperature data

from CanESM2 were downscaled based on three representative concentration pathways (RCPs)

employing a stochastic weather generator [Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator

(LARS-WG)]. The study states that greater increases in actual evapotranspiration (AET) and net

percolation (NP) are projected toward the end of the twenty-first century. The increases in future

NP at the two reclamation covers are larger (as a percentage increase) than at most of the natural

sites. Increases in NP will result in greater water yield to surface water and may accelerate the

rate at which chemical constituents contained within mine waste are released to downstream

receptors, suggesting these potential changes need to be considered in mine closure designs.

8.14 Identifying Transformational Space For Transdisciplinarity: Using Art To Access The Hid-

den Third23

A challenge for transdisciplinary sustainability science is learning how to bridge diverse

worldviews among collaborators in respectful ways. This study focuses on how we sought to

change our own engagement practices to advance sustainability rather than improving scientific

techniques. For the study, a team of interdisciplinary scholars and students worked together, to

better understand long-term social–ecological change in the engagement of indigenous peoples

from three inland delta regions in Canada. They used the concept of Nicolescu’s “Hidden Third”

to identify and operationalize this transformative space, because it focused on bridging

“objective” and “subjective” worldviews through art.

8.15 Effects Of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Grafting On Stability And Reactivity Of Zerovalent Iron

In Water Systems24

Zerovalent iron (ZVI) has been extensively used by researchers for degradation of chlorinated

compounds, hydrocarbons and heavy metals and remediation of contaminants in ground and

surface water. However, the field-scale application of ZVI is limited due to several reasons. The

present study investigated the effects of degree of substitution (DS) and grafting method (pre-

grafting or post-grafting) of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on particle size, surface chemistry,

colloidal and oxidative stability and reactivity of zerovalent iron (ZVI) particles. In this study, it

was found that DS of CMC can regulate the particle size, stability, dispersibility and reactivity of

stabilized ZVI particles. CMC stabilized ZVI particles had smaller particle size, higher surface area

and high dispersibility as compared to bare ZVI particles. Further, less aggregation was observed

in higher DS CMC stabilized ZVI samples compared to lower DS CMC stabilized ZVI samples due

to the better shielding ability for van der waals attractive forces. Overall, CMC was found most

efficient in colloidal stabilization of ZVI particles both in pre-grafting as well as post-grafting

mode.

8.16 Using Dual Isotopes And A Bayesian Isotope Mixing Model To Evaluate Sources Of Nitrate

Of Tai Lake, China25

Identification and quantification of sources of nitrate (NO3–) in freshwater lakes provide

useful information for management of eutrophication and improving water quality in lakes. In

this study dual δ15N- and δ18O-NO3– isotopes and a Bayesian isotope-mixing model were applied

to identify sources of NO3– and estimate their proportional contributions to concentrations of

NO3– in Tai Lake, China. The SIAR mixing model was parameterized and then used to calculate

more accurate contributions of four different sources (i.e., agricultural, industrial, domestic

sewage and rainwater) of NO3– to Tai Lake. Results revealed that proportional contributions of

agriculture were greatest among the four potential source classes of NO3–. The paper is a novel

method to assigning sources of nitrogen in water.

8.17 Spatial Distribution Of Dissolved Organic Matter In Ice And At Air–Ice Interfaces26

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a common solute in snow and ice at Earth's surface. Its

effects on reaction kinetics in ice and at air–ice interfaces can be large, but are currently difficult

to quantify. This study used Raman microscopy to characterize the surface and bulk of frozen

aqueous solutions containing humic acid, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and citric acid at a range

of concentrations and temperatures. Our results show that different types of organic matter have

different distributions and local concentrations at air–ice interfaces, as well as different effects

on the underlying ice surface. Different types of organic matter may therefore have very different

effects on reaction rates at air–ice interfaces. These results will improve our understanding of

the effects of organic solutes on environmental and atmospheric chemistry within ice and at air–

ice interfaces.

8.18 Changes In Hydrology Of Kluane Lake Under Past And Future Climates And Glacial

Retreat27

The diversion of the Slims River headwaters due to the Kaskawulsh Glacier retreat is one of

the most extraordinary and dramatic hydrological changes due to climate change observed in

Canada in the 21st C. The goal of this study is to estimate the variability and changes over the

historical period and into the future climates of the 21st C in the lake levels of Kluane Lake (largest

lake in Yukon), that receives most of its inflow from Slims River and other glacier meltwaters. The

Surface Scheme with both surface and subsurface runoff on slopes and river routing, was used

to model the hydrology of the Kluane Lake Basin for these predictions. The results drawn from

this study are intended to answer important questions posed by residents surrounding the

Kluane Lake, the future of Kluane Lake levels and will further help in water-environment-

ecosystem management decision-making process. The hydrological MESH model setup could be

the first in the world to simulate successfully alpine glacial melt and lake inflows/levels/outflows

using a fine resolution 2x2 km2 and providing full hydrological records in the past century and

projections for this century under global warming conditions.

8.19 Taking Stock Of Sustainability In Higher Education28

This paper provides a review of the current literature that examines the uptake of

sustainability policies in higher education. Articles were retrieved from both ERIC and Scopus

databases and then manually reviewed to ensure that they focused on each of: higher education;

sustainability; and policy. Results of the study suggest that drivers and barriers associated with

the integration of sustainability policy in higher education are well known; yet increased research

is needed to understand best practices and processes by which sustainability can be furthered

through higher education policy.

8.20 Potential Indirect Effects Of The Neonicotinoid Insecticide On Ecosystem Metabolism29

Pesticides are important contributors to the global freshwater biodiversity crisis. Among

pesticides, neonicotinoids are the best-selling class of agricultural insecticides and are suspected

to represent significant risks to freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Several authors

have raised concerns about its potential impacts on freshwater ecosystem and this study

contributes empirical evidence supporting some of these concerns, as it has documented

potential indirect effects of the insecticide on ecosystem metabolism. Moreover, the results of

the study highlight that complex interactions with nutrients and sediment may alter the

magnitude and direction of the ecological effects of imidacloprid. This observation may have

important implications at a global scale, especially given the widespread co-occurrence of these

stressors in freshwater ecosystems within agricultural landscapes around the world.

8.21 Adapting To Climate Change Through Source Water Protection30

incorporate the influence of climate change into source water protection planning. This article

describes how source water protection planning has potential to enhance community adaptation

strategies to reduce the impacts of climate change on source water and drinking water systems.

Results in this study are based on six case studies from Alberta and Saskatchewan.

8.22 R-functions For Canadian Hydrologists: A Canada-wide Collaboration (CSHShydRology)31

R is an open-source statistical language that is supported by a large user community with

many benefits for use in watershed analysis. In this article a new R package, CSHShydRology, is

introduced that combines functions developed by hydrologists across Canada. Version 1.0 of the

CSHShydRology package is available on Github at https://github.com/CSHSCWRA/CSHShydRolo-

gy as of July 2018. The article encourage users to download and try the function in their workflow,

and contribute to the development of the code and to Canadian hydrology.

8.23 Temporal Variability Of Water Footprint For Cereal Production (Saskatchewan, Canada)32

The water footprint (WF) of crop production is a user-friendly means to analyze the

consumption of water resource in agricultural production systems. This study assessed the inter-

annual variability of grain yield, protein yield, and their corresponding WFs and determined the

major factors influencing the WFs in Saskatchewan of Canada. The results of this study indicated

that the water resource utilization (which was indicated by grain and protein yield-based WFs) in

the rain-fed agriculture of Saskatchewan was more sensitive to the natural factor (such the

precipitation) than the manual factors (such as agricultural inputs, scientific and technological

progress, and food price index). Under the same protein yield, the protein yield-based WFs

tended to be lower in spring wheat than barley. The grain yield-based WFs of cereal crops have

large potential for improvement in the future.

8.24 Utility Of Bacterium Properties For The Adsorption And In-Situ Removal And Biodeg-

radation Of Phenolic Waterborne Contaminants33

This research study demonstrated the utility of cross-linked biopolymers derived from starch

that show unique adsorptive removal and immobilization properties for biotransformation of

chlorophenols into harmless by-products. The cross-linked polymer materials contain β-

cyclodextrin (β-CD) with incremental hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) cross-linker at variable

mole ratios (X = 1, 3, or 6), denoted as HDI-X systems. The adsorptive uptake properties of the

insoluble HDI-X polymers (X = 3 and 6) with various phenolic compounds [pentachlorophenol

(PCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), and 2,4,6-trimethylphenol (TMP)] were studied using batch

adsorption isotherms. This type of dual function represents a significant advancement in the field

of water treatment from the perspective of contaminants disposal and the coupling of

physicochemical and biological processes in closed-loop water treatment systems.


9. Performance Indicators GIWS was created with the vision to undertake world-class research that enables and enhances

water security. Since 2011, GIWS has invested to recruit and build partnership with members

within USask and several other universities, communities, industries, government and non-

government organizations. It recruits and aims at retaining HQP from interdisciplinary

background related to water research. These memberships have helped GIWS to develop

internationally recognized research facilities with cutting-edge instrumentation, find a niche in

water related research, and take on national and international science leadership roles. Over the

years, it has attracted and developed substantial additional research funding, leading training

programs, recognition of research outcomes through peer reviewed publications, national and

international awards and honours, and has expanded collaboration with key stakeholders. GIWS

has made remarkable progress and has now established a platform for collaborative

interdisciplinary water related research to solve pressing local, regional and global water-related

issues.

9.1 Membership

A key aim of GIWS is to develop an integrated trans-disciplinary scientific team to meet water

security challenges, including interactions among water, food, energy and ecosystem services

(i.e., benefits to human welfare), climate change adaptation and mitigation challenges, and the

human health agenda. GIWS now integrates expertise from 270 members (94 Members, 61

Associate Members, and 115 Student Members) from 21 academic units across the USask, and

has formed strong and mutually supportive working partnerships with Federal and Provincial

agencies, in particular Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and the Saskatchewan

Water Security Agency (SWSA) (Appendix A).

9.2 Support Staff

GIWS has grown under a policy of developing a lean and efficient administration, and only making

new staff appointments when necessary. However, the number of researchers and the level of

research funding and facilities to manage are large, and financial accounting requirements are

quite onerous. Therefore, GIWS currently has a Director, Associate Director, GWF Program

Director, Assistant Director, Director of Finance, GWF Science Manager, Executive Assistant and

Director of Facilities and Human Resources, Financial Officer, Communication Specialist,

Knowledge Mobilization Specialist, Outreach Coordinator, Clerical Assistant, Data Manager, Data

Support Analyst, Business Development Officer, Strategic Partnership Specialist, and Digital

Services Coordinator (Appendix B).

9.3 Highly Qualified Personnel

During 2018-19, GIWS core faculty financially supported and supervised 102 graduate students

(47 PhD and 55 Masters), 22 postdoctoral fellows and 31 other HQP’s (Appendix B). Other GIWS


members financially supported and supervised 139 graduate students (54 PhD and 85 Masters),

23 postdoctoral fellows, and 62 other HQP’s (Appendix C).

9.4 Research Funding

To support our research and training endeavors, financial resources are critical. Healthy financial

resources help attract and retain the ‘best-of-the-best’ from around the world, and help develop

innovative research facilities. In 2018-19, GIWS core faculty and members have secured a total

of $18.5 million (52% federal sources, 7% provincial, 25% industry, 14% international and 2%

from USask sources) (Appendix D). Since March 2011, GIWS has secured a total funding of $282

million (including the CFREF $77.8 million).

9.5 Research Publications

In 2018-19, GIWS members have published 364 journal articles, including papers in Science and

Nature, published and presented 355 papers in proceedings and at conferences, delivered 130

plenary, key note and invited lectures, and published 17 book chapters and books. Since 2011,

GIWS members have published a total of 1873 journal articles and 94 books/book chapters,

participated in 1513 conference proceedings and presentations and delivered more than 802

invited, key-note and plenary lectures to share research outcomes and enlighten our

stakeholders and scientific community (Appendix E).

9.6 Awards and Honours

One of the measurable parameters for research and training excellence is the number of awards

and honours received by GIWS members and students. Following the previous years, 2018-19

has been a successful year to recognize that the GIWS executive group, core faculty and other

members and students, have received diverse awards and honours. We have achieved significant

success in research and training and are targeting to promote and support our members and

10. Student Corner The GIWS Student and Young Researchers

Committee (GIWS-SYR) had an active year hosting

and participating in many academic and social

events during 2018-2019. These events

encouraged the building of teams, mingling of

people, passage of knowledge and having just

plain fun. Through active participation, members

gained new friends, ideas, and an appreciation for

teamwork. GIWS-SYR also made a strong effort

this year to streamline communication and

involvement with Global Water Futures Young

Researchers. Over the past year, GIWS-SYR hosted

or collaborated on 9 events ranging from

documentary viewings to ski trips. GIWS-SYR are

very proud of the events that were hosted this

past year and are looking forward to a successful

term in 2019-2020.

10.1 Elections Night: On the evening of October 26, 2018, the previous and the new GIWS-SYR

team organized a small party at the University Club to welcome new students and introduce the

new members of the team. In this gathering, former and new students had a chance to chat,

enjoy delicious snacks and play Powerpoint Karaoke to have just plain fun. Several prizes were

given to students to warmly welcome them to the Institute.

10.2 GIWS Christmas Party and Stud-

ent Fundraiser: On November 29, 2018,

GIWS hosted a Christmas party for

students, members, and employees at

Louis Loft. This gathering also brought

together researchers in a casual setting. At

this event, the GIWS-SYR held a 50/50 raffle

fundraiser with the proceeds going to

10.3 USask Husky Game: On November 30,

2018, the SYR committee coordinated a group

excursion to watch the USask Husky’s take on

the UofA Golden Bears. The gathering brought

individuals from GIWS, GWF, and other like-

minded researchers together for a fun social

event supporting our University’s hockey

team.

10.4 Skate n Social: The SYR organized a ‘Skate n’ Social’ on the Boffins pond for a Christmas

break farewell on December 20, 2018. Helmets, skates, and hockey sticks were supplied to those

in need. For many, this was the first time on ice skates! Some passed around a puck, while others

practiced their skating skills. After a few hours on the ice, we gathered for snacks and warm drinks

in Boffins.

10.5 Ski Day: At 7 AM on March 16th, 2019, a brisk morning, accompanied with buckets of

coffee, 25 students and young researchers; loaded a school bus to Table Mountain for a full day

on the slopes. Everyone was geared up and in line for the chair lift by 9:30 AM. A picnic-style

lunch allowed for a rest and visit amongst the crew. Cheeks hurting from smiles and windburn,

and exhausted from the big day, it was a quiet ride home as we snacked, napped, and reministed

on the fun we had, already thinking about next year’s ski trip.
