Book excerpt: In the near-term the Plan would focus on the issues most critical to the health of Lake Simcoe including: • restoring the health of aquatic life within the Lake Simcoe watershed (see Chapter 3); • improving water quality, including reducing loadings of phosphorus to the lake (see Chapter 4); • maintaining water quantity (see Chapter 5); • improving the health of the ecosystem by protecting and reh [...] The Lake Simcoe watershed is defined in section 2 of the Act as Lake Simcoe and the part of Ontario, the water of which drains into Lake Simcoe or, if the boundaries are described more specifically in the regulations, the area within those boundaries. [...] The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan builds on the ongoing work of the LSRCA and the LSRCA will continue to be a key partner in the implementation of the Plan and protection of the watershed. [...] The committee provided valuable scientific advice on the state of the lake and its watershed, pressures on the system now and in the future, identification of ecosystem features that need protection and on appropriate management methods and a monitoring plan to support the protection strategy. [...] The focus of initial research projects may include: a. production dynamics and ecological function research tied to the coldwater fish community and the function of offshore food webs and ecosystems; or b. an evaluation of the impacts of nearshore water quality, nutrients, primary production dynamics, invasive species and climate change on the fish community and the function of the nearshore foodw.

Book excerpt: Watershed policy is gaining momentum in Canada as water scarcity becomes an increasingly prominent global issue. The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan is Canada's first watershed legislation. This thesis examines what factors led to a successful creation process for the Plan. This research draws on interviews with non-government and government participants involved in the creation phase. This thesis is conducted through a grounded theory methodology with the overall aim to generate theory through constant comparative analysis of the data. This paper explores the themes of tangibility, inclusion, and resilience in the policy creation phase. The theory generated explores "the modernization of the horizontal and vertical spheres; an acknowledgement of the 'other' in policy creation". The results of this research add to the body of academic literature on water policy creation in Ontario and Canada. This research also puts forward applied roadmaps for future policy makers and theoretical insights from the Lake Simcoe case study.

Book excerpt: "As part of the government's overall strategy to protect and restore the ecological health of the Lake Simcoe Watershed, the Lake Simcoe Protection Act received Royal Assent in December 2008. The Act has provided the authority for the establishment of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, which includes provisions to manage for climate change. This plan contains a specific climate change policy to guide provincial government ministries, First Nations and Métis communities, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA), municipalities, and interested academic institutions in developing a climate change adaptation strategy for the Lake Simcoe Watershed. In this report, the approach, methods, and results of a multi-partner initiative to assess the vulnerabilities of natural and man-made systems to climate change and list options for climate change adaptation for the Lake Simcoe Watershed are described"--Summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HANDBOOK OF CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT In 2010, the first edition of the Handbook of Catchment Management provided a benchmark on how our understanding and actions in water management within a catchment context had evolved in recent decades. Over ten years on, the catchment management concept is entering a new phase of development aligned to contemporary and future challenges. These include climate change uncertainty, further understanding in ecological functioning under change, the drive for a low-carbon, energy efficient and circular society, multiple uses of water, the emergence of new pollutants of concern, new approaches to valuation, finance and pricing mechanisms, stewardship and community engagement, the integration of water across the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the link between water, energy and food. These developments are framed within an increasingly data rich world where new analytics, sensor technology and processing power are informing increasingly real-time decision making. The challenge is also to increase cross-compliance and policy integration to meet multiple stakeholder objectives, and to link actions to achieve cost-effective outcomes. In addition, there are a number of new and exciting city, region and basin-scale real-world examples of contemporary and new catchment thinking; integrating science, technology, knowledge and governance to address multiple drivers and complex problems from across the globe. The time is now right, to capture the new challenges facing catchment management and water resources management globally. This revised and updated edition of the Handbook of Catchment Management features: Thoroughly rewritten chapters which provide an up-to-date view of catchment management issues and contexts New case study material highlighting multi-sectoral management in different globally significant basins and different geographical locations Up-to-date topics selected for their resonance not only in natural sciences and engineering, but also in other fields, such as socio-economics, law and policy The Handbook is designed for a broad audience, but will be particularly useful for advanced students, researchers, academics and water sector professionals such as planners, consultants and regulators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change and an evolving non-renewable energy sector threaten the future viability and sustainability of communities across the country. While rural communities have a special place in the national fabric, they often lack the resources to tackle these important and evolving threats. Planning for Rural Resilience: Coping with Climate Change and Energy Futures makes clear that communities and municipalities have opportunities to make informed and constructive decisions in the face of uncertainty: many of these decisions are “win-win” in the sense that they benefit the community in the short term while also building resilience for the future. Case studies include a town rebuilding itself after a tornado and an individual farmer’s commitment to creating a resilient farm. They provide examples of innovative, successful, and practical on-the-ground actions and strategies. Planning for Rural Resilience asks central questions about the nature of change and the ability to adapt in rural regions. While change is often feared, communities have capacity that can be rallied, harnessed, and turned towards planning policy and action that responds to threats to the future. This important work will assist municipal decision makers, planners, and community members as well as anyone who has a passion for the future and betterment of rural life.

Book excerpt: This report assesses the current trends, drivers, obstacles, mechanisms, impacts, costs and benefits of stakeholder engagement in the water sector. It builds on empirical data collected through an extensive survey across 215 stakeholders, within and outside the water sector, and 69 case studies collected worldwide. It highlights the increasing importance of stakeholder engagement in the water sector as a principle of good governance and the need for better understanding of the pressing and emerging issues related to stakeholder engagement. These include: the shift of power across stakeholders; the arrival of new entrants that ought to be considered; the external and internal drivers that have triggered engagement processes; innovative tools that have emerged to manage the interface between multiple players, and types of costs and benefits incurred by engagement at policy and project levels. This report provides pragmatic policy guidance to decision makers and practitioners in the form of key principles and a Checklist for Public Action with indicators, international references and self-assessment questions, which together can help policy makers to set up the appropriate framework conditions needed to yield the short and long-term benefits of stakeholder engagement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As land is lost to urban sprawl and other non-farm activity, our ability to produce food is diminished and options for future food production are limited. Farmland preservation speaks to the need to preserve the agricultural land base for future generations. The need for protection is driven by uncertainty caused by climate change, population growth, food security, energy availability, and other local and global factors. This uncertainty means that there is an ever-growing responsibility to ensure that the actions of today do not compromise the needs of future generations. This second edition of Farmland Preservation provides a range of views and case studies from across Canada, the United States, and beyond. Its fourteen essays are intended to help the reader understand the importance of the issue and the potential for applying new approaches to agricultural protection, policy tools, and initiatives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when pollution, urban sprawl, and condo booms are leading municipal governments to adopt prescriptive laws and regulations, this book lays the groundwork for a more informed debate between those trying to preserve private property rights and those trying to assert public interests. Rather than asking whether community interests should prevail over the rights of private property owners, Public Interest, Private Property delves into the heart of the argument to ask key questions. Under what conditions should public interests take precedence? And when they do, in what manner should they be limited? Drawing on case studies from across Canada, the contributors examine the tensions surrounding expropriation, smart growth, tree bylaws, green development, and municipal water provision. They also explore frustrations arising from the perceived loss of procedural rights in urban-planning decision making, the absence of a clear definition of “public interest,” and the ambiguity surrounding the controls property owners have within a public-planning system.
