A Web-Based Intensity-Duration-Frequency Tool to Update and Adapt Local Extreme Rainfall Statistics to Climate Change

2018-10-30T13:11:53-04:00May 1st, 2017|

Climate change will result in increasing frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events, yet IDF curves currently in use across Canada do not account for these impacts. As a result, infrastructure built today will not be able to accommodate future extreme rainfall conditions, resulting in increased risk of failure. The “Intensity-Duration-Frequency under Climate Change” (IDFCC) [...]

Innovative Stormwater Management: Translating Science into Actions

2016-10-13T19:05:35-04:00April 6th, 2015|

Conventional ways of managing stormwater runoff are no longer sufficient to deal with increased climatic variability and urban densification and there is clear evidence that the flood risk and urban water pollution is increasing. How can we change the traditional stormwater management system to cope with more frequent and higher flood events?
