Canada1Water - Research and Development Phase 1 Report
We are thrilled to announce the release of the Canada1Water (C1W) phase 1 R& D report. The C1W report chronicles progress made in the first-ever continental-scale model of Canada's entire water cycle, offering a comprehensive understanding of how water moves, accumulates, and changes across the vast Canadian landscape.
Canada1Water Project Featured by NRCan - How will climate change impact Canada’s water resources?
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), the department of the Government of Canada responsible for natural resources, energy, minerals and metals, forests, earth sciences, mapping, and remote sensing- featured the Canada1Water project in their latest article.
Towards Integrated Gravity - Water Storage Change Models for Regional and National Scale Monitoring
The Ontario Groundwater Geoscience 2024 Open House was held on February 27 (in-person) and February 29 (virtual). Dr. John W. Crowley of the Canadian Geodetic Survey gave a presentation about Canada1Water titled “Towards Integrated Gravity - Water Storage Change Models for Regional and National Scale Monitoring”.
Canada1Water in an Ontario Context: Fully Integrated Groundwater - Surface Water Modelling for Canadian Sustainability Goals
The Ontario Groundwater Geoscience 2024 Open House was held on February 27 (in-person) and February 29 (virtual). Steve Frey, the Director of Research Services at Aquanty Inc. gave a presentation about Canada1Water titled “Fully Integrated Groundwater - Surface Water Modelling for Canadian Sustainability Goals”.
C1W Feature by Agriculture Canada - 3D model to map the fate of Canada’s water in a changing climate
Agriculture Canada (AAFC) has featured the Canada1Water initiative, and discussed the fate of Canada’s water in a changing climate. The project is Canada’s first 3D model describing the entire water (hydrological) cycle of Canada. It tracks every part; from evaporation and transpiration to precipitation and snowmelt runoff.
NRCAN Webinar Series Feature – Canada1Water Overview: A National-scale Hydroclimatological Modelling Initiative For Climate Change Impact Analysis
Dr. Steve Frey was invited to give a presentation on the C1W project as part of the CWRA's webinar series. This webinar provided a platform to discuss the significance of the project and its potential implications for water resource management in Canada, as well as an overview of the C1W model and dataset development, and how to access project data/deliverables through the soon to launch C1W Data Portal.
C1W Feature in the Water Canada January/February 2024 eMagazine - Mapping Water’s Future: Canada1Water offers tools for community focused sustainable water management
Water Canada's latest edition shines a spotlight on the groundbreaking Canada1Water project, offering readers an in-depth look into its mission and potential impact, as well as for the increasing need of an accurate, integrated, forward-looking model to help resolve uncertainties and set sustainable strategies. To find out how Canada1Water aims to fill that gap, we encourage you to read this months issue of Water Canada, featuring Andrew Kirkwood.
C1W Feature in the Winter 2024 Edition of Ground Water Canada – Water Project in Stretch Run
“The Canada1Water project is a good start in evaluating the dangers that climate change poses to water resources and to Canadian society at large. The groundwater industry, including water resources engineers, policy and decision makers, community planners, and so on – they will all benefit from a comprehensive modelling and data framework that will enable us all to mitigate impacts and adapt more effectively to the changing reality brought on by climate change.”
Collaborate with the C1W team! (Apr 2023 update)
To broaden the number of project collaborators, the project has an ongoing series of engagement meetings with potential collaborators.
Ask Us Anything - Our answers to common questions about Canada1Water
“A conceptually, comprehensive, physically based hydrologic modelling platform developed by a Canadian company is changing the way we think about, study and plan water resources – surface and groundwater – in Canada, now and long into the future.” A new feature in Ground Water Canada puts a spotlight on the Canada1Water project, detailing the mission of this world-class modelling project and exploring potential use cases.
C1W Team Meetings (Jan 2023 update)
To provide technical exchange within the project team, monthly science talks are held to provide ongoing context for project participants.
