This requires new integration of the relevant spectrum of natural, health and social sciences, public policy and engineering; • Develop the knowledge, science and technologies needed to support integrated water quantity and quality management in the face of uncertain climate and water resource futures, and address local, regional and global water security agendas; • Train the next generations of w. [...] Howard Wheater - a federal-provincial-university partnership with base funding of $30 million to ensure that society has the understanding and the tools to sustainably manage and protect the world’s water resources and ensure that Canada, and the world, has the research and expertise needed to understand our water systems in an era of rapid societal and environmental change. [...] A network of 14 intensely instrumented Water, Ecosystem, Cryosphere, and Climate (WECC) observatories were used to study these detailed processes and connections in the permafrost regions of the Sub-Arctic, the Boreal Forest, the Western Cordillera, and the Prairies, and worked to better understand the changing regional climate and its effects on large-scale Earth system change and the region's ma. [...] This translates into the grand challenge for water science in Canada and globally: “How can we best prepare for and manage water futures in the face of dramatically increasing risks?” GWF’s mission is to position Canada as the global leader in water science for cold regions and to address the strategic needs of the Canadian economy in adapting to changing water and managing the risks of uncertain.
