Book excerpt: In 2006, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority began the process of updating the science on the Don River Watershed and developing a new Don River Watershed Plan. The need for innovative stormwater management practices emerged as a key component of the recommendations from the new Don plan. Much of the watershed is already built up so the emphasis is on retrofitting existing communities with enhanced stormwater management. Stormwater source controls (also called low impact development measures) such as permeable pavement, bioswales, rain gardens, rainwater harvesting and downspout disconnection are recommended for private and public lands. As space and capital dollars for stormwater work are limited, creative solutions that achieve multiple objectives and integrate well with existing communities are needed. To illustrate possible scenarios for implementing the watershed plan's recommendations at a local scale, five concept site plans were developed. The sites were chosen to be representative of common challenges faced in many locations throughout the watershed. The plans illustrated a suite of actions that could be implemented to achieve gains in water quality, water balance, erosion control, natural heritage protection and community engagement within the context of other sustainability elements. Three of the five site plans proposed significant stormwater source control activities. As a part of a broader research initiative to support the development of a hydrologic modelling tool, CMHC provided research funding to apply the hydrologic model to the three sites to assess the outcomes of different residential developments and other measures on stormwater and how innovative practices can mitigate adverse environmental impacts of stormwater. The hydrologic modelling was used to estimate the potential reductions in peak flows (and associated flood risk and erosion potential) and overall flow volume that might result from implementing these measures.

Download or read book Integrated Watershed Management written by Isobel W. Heathcote and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated framework for water resources management It has been said that "water is the next oil." A strong global consensus has begun to develop that effective water management must start at the watershed level, and that water management actions must be taken in the context of watersheds, and the human communities in them. Integrated Watershed Management: Principles and Practice, Second Edition presents a flexible, integrated framework for watershed management that addresses the biophysical, social, and economic issues affecting water resources and their use. Comprehensive in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, it equips readers with the necessary tools and techniques to develop sound watershed management policy and practice—from problem definition and goal setting to selecting management strategies and procedures for monitoring implementation. Ten years of practice have demonstrated that the core concepts presented in the first edition of this book remain true and important. This Second Edition is fully updated to reflect current practice and recent experience in watershed management, including: New coverage of strategies for the selection and evaluation of public engagement processes Sampling, data management, and computer simulation technologies Recent legislative changes International watershed issues Many new case studies Water resources planning and management is not just a technical challenge; it is also a social challenge, and an opportunity. It is, ultimately, a framework for human societies to shape, protect, and improve the environment in which they live. Providing a rational framework for the development of water resources management strategies, Integrated Watershed Management, Second Edition is a one-stop resource for upper-level students and professionals in environmental science, natural resource management, and environmental engineering.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the late summer and fall of 1984, a dry weather survey was conducted on all outfalls discharging to the Don River and its tributaries as part of the ongoing Toronto area watershed management strategy study. This study is conducted to inventory and document all existing outfalls on the Don River and its tributaries; to assess the loadings and concentrations of selected contaminants discharged in dry weather from all existing outfalls to the Don River and its tributaries; and to identify and prioritize, on the basis of observation, outfalls discharging contaminants in concentrations in excess of modified municipal sewer-use bylaw limits. The field program included both the collection of historic data from the provincial and municipal governments and two consecutive screening runs, with intensive sampling of selected outfalls up to 4 times. Outfalls were then classified by parameters to assist in setting priorities for action.
