This new CBC News article explains how winter storms are becoming an bigger risk to people living in the Great Lakes region and why it is only going to get worse. The growing intensity of these storms can be partly attributed to the regional climatic impact of large bodies of water - known as the lake effect.

A new article on CBC News discusses climate change's impacts on northern Ontario ice roads. With temperatures warming, the season that these roads can be active is getting shorter and transportation through the region more difficult and expensive. One key outcome of the C1W project will be modelled snow depth for all Canada, making it easier to predict how the insulative properties of snow might affect ice road viability to the end of century in northern Canadian communities.

This article from The Guardian summarizes a new study, published in Science, describing the devastating effects of rising global temperatures on the world’s glaciers. Understanding this extreme shift in glacier melt is one goal for the Canada1Water project, as it will become increasingly important to understand what effects this melt will cause on regional hydrology.

A new article by CBC highlights the impact of climate change on the St. Lawrence seaway water levels, and how these changing water levels are threatening tourism and the long-term sustainability of the St. Lawrence seaway, a massive economic powerhouse for Canadian industry.

A new report by the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario begins to shed some light on the financial impact that climate change will have on the storm and wastewater infrastructure of Ontario communities.

In an effort to accelerate housing development, the provincial government has introduced legislation with a slate of proposed changes to wetland policy throughout Ontario. However, environmentalists and water resources professionals are highlighting the dangers of developing wetlands - fragile ecosystems which naturally provide valuable flood mitigation services.

Sea-level rise is the cause of ongoing erosion of coastlines around the world (for a devastating example see the P.E.I. coastline before and after Hurricane Fiona).

But climate change will also have a huge impact on the basic water balance of coastal areas (e.g. groundwater-surface water interactions, depth to groundwater) and these impacts will likely extend much further inland than shifting coastlines.

A new financial report by Manitoba Hydro illustrates the impacts that drought can have on the energy generation. In 2021 Manitoba (which generates >95% of it’s electricity through hydroelectricity) saw its worst drought in decades, resulting in a net loss of $248-million for Manitoba Hydro (a swing of $367 in net earnings year-over-year). What does the future spell for Manitoba, Quebec, B.C., Newfoundland and Labrador, provinces which rely heavily on hydroelectricity to meet consumer electricity demand?

2022 has been a devastating year for flood related catastrophes; heavy rains and rising waters have caused havoc in countries around the world including Nigeria, Venezuela, Australia, Pakistan, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam

60% of America is in a designated drought zone, with conditions set to worsen over the winter as we experience the third consecutive year of La Niña conditions - the rare ‘triple dip’ La Niña.

British Columbia is a case study on the paradoxical effects that climate change exerts on stressed hydrologic systems - a mixture of catastrophic flooding and severe drought.

A series of CBC News articles which highlight the impacts that draught and historic low water supply levels are having on communities and industries across Canada.

A CBC News feature which explores the impacts climate change is having on the Peace-Athabasca-Delta, and the ways that the Indigenous peoples of the Delta are adapting.

The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) said the levels at Whitemans Creek, a cold water tributary that leads into the Grand River between Paris and Brantford, is below 50 percent of normal levels for the summer

CBC News explores the longstanding boil water advisories impacting residents in 160 small communities across Newfoundland.
