As part of my internship with the Adaptation to Climate Change Team, I will be blogging about updates and stories from the FLOW cross-Canada tour. FLOW stands for the Forum for Leadership on Water.
FLOW Co-Chair, Bob Sandford (who was also the lead author of the ACT report I helped edit this summer), is going across Canada to present some of the positive lessons learned from the Northwest Territories Water strategy and to hear from Canadians about what they think needs to be done to better protect our water resources.You can view a list of Bob's tour dates here.
Here is short summary of what came from the Saskatchewan tour stop:
Saskatchewan experienced droughts and floods in the same basin this year, with farmers submitting insurance claims for both in a first for the insurance industry. The issue of flooding, accurately projected from climate models, is a major concern for the people of Saskatchewan and this was manifested at the tour stop through questions regarding ways the province’s water infrastructure should be managed and how to account for the “new normal”.
