Ontario Branch Burlington, Ontario February 05, 2010
Water quality concerns continue to command attention and resources across North America and the globe. Finding effective means to recover and sustain good water quality is especially challenging in basins that cover multiple jurisdictions. In all its forms, water knows no boundaries. Boundaries issues can span across physical, natural, surface water, groundwater, atmospheric, institutional, political, theoretical, perceived, organizational, technological and temporal scales. Boundary issues can confound or enhance the success of projects, science, methods and performance in water quality management. There is a lot going on in the field of water-quality management. The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the United States is under review, as is the Canada-Ontario agreement on Great Lakes water-quality management. Canada and the United States are currently dealing with multi-jurisdictional challenges, preparing policies and adopting new practices to achieve water-quality objectives for the Great Lakes.
What is clear is that boundary considerations provide both opportunities and challenges. Speakers from both Canada and the United States will present case studies to emphasize the lessons learned about what to do and what not to do in making progress toward a policy framework capable of producing sustainable water-quality outcomes. This workshop will explore differences and similarities in approaches and results in Canada and the US focusing on water quality management and transboundary issues to address the workshop objectives.
4th International Conference on Natural Channel Systems
Our understanding of the importance, complexity and interconnectedness of natural channel systems continues to expand with the growing emphasis on protecting Canada's green infrastructure for both biodiversity and the quality of human life. To promote the exchange information on this important issue, we are pleased to announce a two-day event, taking place in Mississauga on September 27 & 28, 2010, which will look at the connections between biodiversity, stream corridors and watershed health, and the improved management of these interconnections through the practices of stream restoration and natural channel design.
The event is hosted by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Canadian Water Resources Association, Soil and Water Conservation Society, Conservation Ontario, American Fisheries Society, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The information to be presented is geared to practitioners, scientists, policy makers, and other stakeholders from regulatory agencies, consulting firms and environmental organizations.

www.iswm .ca is an online database of Innovative and Low Impact Stormwater Management Practices in Ontario, developed by the Toronto Region Conservation for the Ontario Ministry of Environment. Iswm.ca is a free, publicly accessible archive for Municipalities, Developers, Consultants and others to share information regarding these types of practices.
Register now to submit your projects and have them showcased to other professionals and organizations in the world of stormwater management. Your project will have its own project page where you can attach company logos, drawings and photographs, and generally get the word out there on the ground breaking work your organization is doing. The projects and practices featured on iswm.ca will be paving the way for the future of stormwater management in Ontario.
About Low Impact Development During the past three decades, there has been an evolution in stormwater management. In the early 1980s, stormwater management focused solely on controlling the quantity of runoff. By the early 1990s, water quality became an additional focus. Today, with improvements in watershed management and our understanding of watersheds, stormwater management addresses a broad suite of issues including stream morphology and the protection of groundwater resources, fish habitat, and terrestrial habitat (primarily wetlands). Today, Low Impact Development has been adopted as a stormwater management strategy by many municipalities across the United States. It is a stormwater management approach and a set of practices that is used to reduce runoff and pollutant loadings by managing the runoff as close to its source as possible. LID typically uses multiple practices on a site and can be used both to reduce the impacts of both development and redevelopment on water resources. With new development, LID is used to achieve the goal of maintaining or closely replicating the predevelopment hydrology of the site. In areas where development has already taken place, LID can be used as a retrofit practice to reduce runoff volumes, pollutant loadings, and the overall impacts of existing developments on receiving waters.Click Here for more information on these technologies, or visit www.sustianabletechnologies.ca for detailed descriptions, and technology evaluations.
