Water experts and flood modellers regularly explore the efficacy of new and upgraded climate models in representing flood inundation dynamics and how they will be impacted in the future by climate change. General Circulation Models can be used to examine the probable changes in Canada’s floodplain regimes. This webinar will discuss a comprehensive study consisting of hydrodynamic flood modelling and statistical experiments that can be used to derive high-resolution Canada-wide floodplain maps for 100 and 200-yr return periods. This study found a significant rise in flood inundation extents in the future periods, particularly intense over western and eastern regions. Join Dr. Simonovic as he outlines observations which are vital for enhancing flood preparedness, optimal land-use planning, and refurbishing both structural and nonstructural flood control options for improved resilience. He will describe the study’s framework and the overall importance of revamping Canada’s existing flood management approaches and adaptation strategies for future waterfront protection.

Slobodan P. Simonovic ([ Ссылка ]) is universally acknowledged as one of the world’s leading authorities on application of Systems Analysis to water and environmental management. He advanced the understanding of water and environmental systems, by providing decision-makers with tools to support their sustainable management. He provides unparalleled contributions to global and local management of water that have improved the lives and livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. His work has a significant impact on our understanding of system linkages between humans, and build and natural environments that lead to sustainable water resources management and resilience as a new development paradigm.
