This workshop will provide information on past and future trends of climate variability and predicted impacts of climate change on the local climate. In addition to the direct impacts on water wastewater infrastructure, there are potential secondary impacts due to the climate change impacts on watershed, agriculture, economy, and social/behavior.
Decision makers will need to improve their capacity to address adaptive management practices and have appropriate policies for planned adaptation to climate change.
This workshop will provide high level technical options, discuss policy and management options available for planning, implementation and available responses to specific impacts.
This workshop covers:
•the basics of the climate change
•the scientific observations (atmosphere, ocean, glaciers) and climate change myths
•global predictions
•regional (Prairie) predictions
•specific vulnerabilities for the water infrastructure
•specific vulnerabilities for the wastewater infrastructure
•exposure and and time-frames, frequency and impacts
•adaptation options for water wastewater infrastructure
•operator role in mitigation and adaptation
