Climate Resilience Planning: Modelling Multi-Functional Reservoirs under Changing Climate****

战略社区咨询（SCC）正在开发可扩展的和具有成本效益的解决方案，以有效投资于加拿大西部的气候适应能力。SCC有一个主要合同，评估价值1亿美元的Treherne大坝项目的投资案例，该项目沿着Boyne河系统，具有传统水库和大型工程湿地的特点。佩利湖特雷赫恩上游的一个人工湿地被认为是一个多功能水库，用于减少洪水和干旱风险、灌溉、水质改善和生物质生产，其效益-成本估计在2.83至3.64之间。SCC需要Boyne河系统的原型多功能水文模型，以准确评估Treherne大坝的多功能，气候适应能力和整体系统效益。这项研究将开发一个综合的水资源管理模型的系统，以模拟所有系统组件之间的相互联系，包括阿西尼博因河和博因河和佩利湖，特雷赫恩和斯蒂芬菲尔德水库，并评估和优化经济发展效益从灌溉供水，洪水和干旱风险降低和水质改善系统。本研究开发的工具将包括该水系统的综合模型，这些模型可以支持多功能蓄水池的优化和设计，以缓解气候变化适应所需的洪水和干旱风险。这些工具将被转移到SCC。本研究开发的成果和模型与加拿大保险局和加拿大基础设施部推荐的最佳实践相一致，也是许多其他水资源紧张的农业地区所需要的，也是其他加拿大技术公司感兴趣的。

Strategic Community Consulting (SCC) is developing scalable and cost-effective solutions for efficient investments in climate resilience, in Western Canada. SCC has a major contract to evaluate the investment case for the $100M Treherne Dam project along the Boyne River system with features of both a conventional reservoir and a large engineered wetland. An engineered wetland site upstream of Treherne, Pelly's Lake, is recognized as a showcase multifunctional reservoir for flood and drought risk reduction, irrigation, water quality improvement, and biomass production with a benefit-cost estimated to range from 2.83 to 3.64. SCC needs a prototype multifunctional hydrological model of the Boyne River system to accurately evaluate the multifunctional, climate resilience, and overall system benefit of the Treherne Dam. This research will develop an integrated water management model of the system to simulate the interconnections between all system components, including Assiniboine and Boyne Rivers and Pelly's Lake, Treherne, and Stephenfield reservoirs and to evaluate and optimize the economic development benefits from irrigation water supply, flood and drought risk reduction and water quality improvements in the system. Tools developed in this research will include comprehensive models of this water system that can support optimization and design of the multifunctional retention storage for flood and drought risk mitigation needed for climate change adaptation. These tools will be transferred to SCC. Outcomes and models developed by this research are consistent with the best practice recommended by the Insurance Bureau of Canada and Infrastructure Canada and are needed for many other water-stressed agricultural regions and will be of interest for other Canadian technology firms as well.
