Global Institute for Water Security 2018-19 Progress Report

Drone Flight, Smart Water Systems Lab and Canmore Cold Water Lab Fortress Mountain, Kananaskis, AB Photo Courtesy: Mark Ferguson OUR VISION Enabling global water security by world-class research and training, science communication and science-informed policy. We define water security as the sustainable use and protection of water resources under changing climatic conditions and the pressures of population growth, including the safeguarding of access to water functions and services for humans and the environment, and protection against water-related hazards (e.g. flooding, drought and contaminants).

OUR MISSION  Create a focus and platform for interdisciplinary collaboration that recognizes the societal dimensions of water security, human impacts on the environment, and the linkages and feedbacks among the atmosphere, the ocean, the land and freshwater systems. 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 water security scholars and practitioners;  Communicate key advances in water security research to government officials, environmental decision makers and the general public. Develop partnerships with key stakeholders to translate science into policy and management support to meet water security challenges, including interactions among water, food, energy and ecosystem services (i.e., benefits to human welfare), climate change adaptation and mitigation challenges, and the human health agenda;  Understand the hydrological, social, economic and political factors that threaten water security in key regions globally. Engage in water diplomacy, collaborative network (e.g. government, civil society, NGO and universities) and capacity building in those regions; and  Explore public-private partnership opportunities for strategic water security issues and regions.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 i EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE – Jay Famiglietti Dear colleagues, members, and friends of GIWS,

Another Annual Report affords me the opportunity to reflect on where we have been in the last year, and what the road ahead may look like. Let me start by saying that you all make me so proud to be your Executive Director. You continue to demonstrate that we are moving the needle on regional and global water security in very substantive ways; and you give me great hope that the future of water security is in very capable hands.

The institute continues to grow in personnel, in space and in stature. We are bursting at the seams in our offices at Innovation Place in Saskatoon, trying to fit every one of our nearly 500 graduate students, postdocs, research technicians, faculty and staff into our offices. Our Coldwater Laboratory in Canmore is also expanding with the arrival of Prof. Martyn Clark and the growth of his team there. For much of 2019, we have been engaged with the Town of Canmore in discussions regarding GIWS expansion there, including recruiting a new Tier

1 Canada Research Chair with a potential home Dr. James Famiglietti, Executive Director GIWS and base at Coldwater. Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Water Security Regarding the growth of our stature, a senior, distinguished colleague, who was sitting next to me during a recent dinner, leaned over and said in a hushed tone ‘you all are doing amazing things up there in Saskatoon.’ As many of you know, he is not the only one who feels that way. Between all of your great science, teaching, training and outreach, and the far-reaching impacts of our Global Water Futures program under Associate Director John Pomeroy’s leadership, we have been turning heads for some time now. While that is important for recruiting top talent to USask and GIWS, more important is that we are having an impact. Elected officials, policy makers and water managers are seeking us out for advice, guidance, for our latest research results, and to hire our graduates. This…is what it is all about.

While my first term at USask (Fall 2018) was spent ‘making the rounds’ on campus, meeting GIWS members, campus administrators, and scouting new collaborations, much of 2019 was spent looking beyond the boundaries of campus. With the help of USask’s new Associate Vice- President for Government Relations Sara Daniels, and GIWS’ new Strategic Partnership Specialist Palash Sanyal, we are establishing new and meaningful relationships with a wide variety of federal, provincial and city government agencies and officials. These relationships must be built

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 ii and nurtured over the long-term. Mutual trust and two-way communication are essential for our work to have continued impact on policy and practice, and hence for the sustainability of GIWS. More on these relationships in just a bit.

Let me share some highlights with you from the 2018-2019 academic year.

The GWF 2nd Annual Open Science Meeting in May in Saskatoon was a tremendous success. With nearly 600 attendees, it was one of the largest water science meetings ever held in Canada. Keynote lectures from Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, from President David Grimes of the World Meteorological Organization, and Scott White, editor of The Conversation, along with hundreds of talks and posters, demonstrated that GIWS can host a world-class meeting. Professor Helen Baulch’s public talk on Prairie water issues at the Roxy Theater was another highlight. Kudos to the GWF team for knocking this one out of the park!

Now, about those government officials who are seeking us out. It was a great pleasure to host Dr. Mona Nemer, Canada’s Chief Science Advisor, when she came to visit us on July 8 to learn more about the Institute, our research and our programs. I’m happy to say that Dr. Nemer continues to be engaged with GIWS: we are currently working together on ‘Water Day on the Hill’ which will take place on March 10, 2020. Our goal is to have water experts from across Canada have multiple brief one-on-one meetings with members of Parliament throughout the day, with a poster session to wrap up. This will be an important opportunity to have our water messages heard, and a great experience in honing our science communication skills. This is an important initiative for all of Canada as we continue to work closely with the government to ensure a secure water future for all Canadians.

Just a couple of weeks later, on July 23, the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, then Minister of Science, paid a visit to GIWS and we were so grateful to have her speak with our researchers, students, and young professionals. Minister Duncan seemed especially impressed with the advances in research our team at the Smart Water Systems Laboratory is having on the field of hydrology through the use of drones and unique sensors; along with the tremendous work by some our faculty and graduate students on the Women and Water Lecture Series, which I am proud to say will begin again for season two in January 2020.

We are developing new collaborations with the Global Institute for Food Security and in the general area of the food-water nexus and digital agro-hydrology. Since most of the world’s water is used to produce food, we must engage with our colleagues at GIFS, in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources, as well as with the agricultural ministries and with the food industry, if we aspire to greater impacts on global water security. Given the expertise in hydrology and agriculture on campus, it is clear that USask can become a globally leading research university in food-water nexus issues.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 iii You can check out a complete list of our “Collaborations and Outreach” in the compendium section of this report, but I want to highlight a few recent engagements with important individuals and groups, including World Water Week in Stockholm, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Invitational Fellowship for Research in Japan, the launch of the Pew Charitable Trust’s Future of Water issue on World Water Day at the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine in Washington, DC; and invited keynote talks at the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC; the Johnson-Shoyama School’s Tansley Lecture in Regina; and the IAEA International Symposium on Isotope Hydrology in Vienna. Some day my speaking schedule will slow down…I hope.

As you may know, I am passionate about science communication and ensuring that what we do as researchers is not locked away in the ivory tower. One way we are trying to communicate with the public is through a partnership with Let’s Talk About Water (LTAW), an activity which I co- founded with colleague and film researcher Linda Lilienfeld in 2009. LTAW uses film to stimulate discussion about local water issues with local experts, and it has held events and film festivals around the word. This past year we began planning for a weeklong LTAW film festival in Saskatoon next June, along with an international water film prize, student film prizes for students from the Saskatoon Public and Catholic School Boards, public speakers, and the 5th International Conference on Hydrology and Earth System Science for Society (HESSS5). We’re calling the whole thing Saskatoon Water Week. All of the films and events for Saskatoon Water Week are free and we can’t wait for Saskatoon to be taking about water!

As for teasers for 2019-2020, watch for growth in the areas of water diplomacy and remote sensing, over the next year, and of course, we’ll continue to grow our efforts in science communication.

It is an honour to serve as the Executive Director of GIWS and as the Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Remote Sensing at the University of Saskatchewan, and I could not do this without the continued support of my wife Cathy, the Institute and USask. Thank you!

Warmest regards,

Jay Famiglietti, FAGU, FGSA Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Remote Sensing Executive Director, Global Institute for Water Security Professor, School of Environment and Sustainability, and Department of Geography and Planning

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 iv ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE – Jeff McDonnell Welcome to the 2019 University of Saskatchewan’s Global Institute for Water Security report! Internationalization of the GIWS continues under the leadership of Jay Famiglietti and through the Global Water Futures program led by John Pomeroy.

As is our tradition, we have brought many international visitors to campus in 2019 as part of our Distinguished Lecture Series—this year hosted by Saman Razavi. Our speakers included: Reed Maxwell (Colorado School of Mines), Bart Nijssen (University of Washington), Adrian Harpold (University of Nevada), David Hannah (University of Birmingham), Bridget Scanlon (University of Texas at Austin), Martyn Tranter (Bristol University), Nandita Basu (University In the field in England, March 2019 of Waterloo) and Karen Kidd (McMaster University). These and previous years’ lectures can be watched on our GIWS You Tube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/user/usaskgiws/feed?view_as=subscriber] Of course, our many water faculty across campus have been active internationally, spreading the GIWS gospel worldwide—with current research projects on nearly every continent! Our biggest international news this year is the commencement of the Masters in Water Security degree taught by USask faculty at Beijing Normal University (BNU)—China (#1 ranked Water Resources Program in China). This is the first such degree taught by a Canadian University in China and we all are very thankful for Irena Creed and Karsten Liber who worked tirelessly to put this together; and to Chengzhong Pan and his colleagues at BNU who did similar yeoman service at their end to make it all happen.

On the student and postdoctoral training front, our aim is to give international students Canadian experience and Canadian students’ international experience. Our own Magali Nehemy (coming to us from Brazil) won the American Geophysical Union’s Horton Research Grant for 2019—for best PhD proposal in hydrology. Student achievements abound on campus and the CREATE Program in Water Security (led by Cherie Westbrook) continues to excel with a strong cohort of outstanding students. The new group of project-based Masters in Water Security (MWS) (led by Andrew Ireson) are thriving. Additionally, In 2018-19, our Core faculty has supervised, co- supervised and hosted graduates and highly qualified personnel’s from several international universities such as RWTH Aachen University (Germany), University of Arizona (USA), University of Pernambuco (Brazil), Ningxia University (China), Ludong University (China), China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research (IWHR) and Masarek University (Czech Republic).

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 v GIWS hosted a one-day workshop (USask-BNU Joint Research Workshop on Water and Climate Science) including delegates from Beijing Normal University, China in Saskatoon

I have been on sabbatical for 2019—based at the Luxembourg Institute for Science and Technology. Therefore, the postdoc mentoring launches and our annual campus-wide ‘Launching an Academic Career’ short course did not take place. Rather, these works were taken “on the road” this year where GIWS branded mentoring lectures and short courses were delivered at the Luxembourg Institute for Science and Technology (Luxembourg), University of Padua (Italy), Beijing Forestry University (China), Beijing Normal University (China), Tsinghua University (China), University of Birmingham (UK), International Association of Hydrological Sciences (in Montreal), the USA Critical Zone Early Career Scientists meeting (in San Francisco) and Ludong University (China) where 200 young professors came out for a morning, GIWS mentoring short course.

Together with our research staff and our many international partners, we invite you to come and be a part of our team—as a visiting scientist, sabbatical visitor, graduate student, postdoctoral or student intern.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 vi ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE – John Pomeroy Led by the Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) at the University of Saskat- chewan (USask), Global Water Futures (GWF) has reached three years since its launch in September 2016. As 2019 has brought us exceptionally extreme impacts of climate change and developmental impacts on water, it is a good time to take stock of recent progress in GWF and our plans for the future. The tremendous skill, excitement, determination and drive of GWF researchers is certainly needed as Photo Courtesy of Erin Collins, CBC Reporter Canada and the world grapple with a global water crisis. The coupled climate and water crises threaten the very fabric of our society and the integrity of our ecosystems.

Addressing these interlinked crises means that we need to solve water problems using novel approaches that draw upon both western science and traditional knowledge. To this end, GWF has six newly active Indigenous community water research projects, each of which was co- created and is co-led by an Indigenous investigator and a GWF university co-principal investigator. These are in addition to GWF’s 39 pan-Canada projects, and core teams including modelling and forecasting, computer science, knowledge mobilization, data and technical teams from across Canada and around the world that bring greater strength and diversity to GWF.

GWF network is extensive and involves 356 stakeholders/ users, 157 researchers from 15 Canadian universities and 538 research personnel associate with 39 pan-Canada projects, and core teams including modelling and forecasting, computer science, knowledge mobilization, data and technical teams. Additional information is available at: [https://gwf.usask.ca/]

In order to promote research excellence, equity, diversity and inclusion, and transdisciplinary science, GWF instituted The Distinguished Lecture Series , The Women and Water Lecture Series, The Knowledge Mobilization Webinar Series, respectively. Research productivity could be measure by the fact that in 2019 GWF researchers published 314 peer-reviewed journal articles, delivered 607 conference presentations, presented 192 invited, plenary and keynote lectures, published six books and book chapters, and published 54 other articles. In addition, 44 graduate and undergraduate theses were completed during this period. This is a superb record of research achievement and dissemination of scientific information across the world. For additional information, please refer to the GWF Annual Report 2018-2019 at: [https://gwf.usask.ca/documents/GWF_Report_2018-19.pdf]

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 vii The month of February 2019 saw great accomplishments from the GWF Core Forecasting and Modelling Team led by Dr. Alain Pietroniro. GWF was able to join with Environment and Climate Change Canada and NSERC’s FloodNet in convening a history-making 1st National Workshop on Flow Forecasting. In addition, GWF partnered with the Forum for Leadership on Water, the Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources, the POLIS Program on Ecological Governance and the UN University to convene a national discussion on water security at the Rideau Club in Ottawa on April 11th – Water Security for Canadians: Solutions for Canada’s Water Crisis. This event brought together water and climate scientists, policy experts, legislators, and water decision rightsholders and stakeholders.

International engagement and recognition for GWF continues to increase. GWF is now a Regional Hydroclimate Project of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges project (GEWEX) of the World Climate Research Programme in Washington, DC. We hosted the GEWEX Open Science Meeting in Canada for the first time in May 2018. International linkages to mountain research has been delivered by the GWF-managed International Network of Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology http://www.usask.ca/inarch/, a cross-cutting project of GEWEX with which a joint meeting was held in Santiago, Chile over 24-26 October 2018. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed that will strengthen both Canada and China’s commitment to managing freshwater resources globally in a time of rapid climate change. The partnership involves GWF and the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Third Pole Environment (TPE) program.

Coming up this year will be calls for new Pillars 1 and 2 projects (Transformative Science Projects) and renewal of Pillar 3 projects (User Question-led Projects) as well as assessment and renewal of our core teams. An important initiative was the decision by the Strategic Management Committee to internationalize GWF’s modelling capabilities with a GWF Planetary Freshwater Prediction program.

GWF continues to make a name for itself across the country and around the globe. It is an honour to be involved with such talented and brilliant scientists, to have strong support from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund and our funding partners and to have such superb administrative and institutional support that keeps GWF running.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 x EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) is a research-intensive institute at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), which manages individual research programs of more than 94 faculty members from 21 academic units. GIWS ensures 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. Since its inception in March 2011, the institute has established itself as one of the premier research-intensive institutions locally (ranked #1 in Canada) and globally (ranked #18) in the field of Water Resources as per the 2018 Academic Ranking of World Universities and in InCites. GIWS has successfully recruited 16 core faculty members including Prof. Jay Famiglietti, Executive Director, GIWS, and Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Remote Sensing, which is roughly equivalent to creation of a new department.

GIWS provides: a) a vehicle for the new disciplinary and trans-disciplinary science needed to address the local, regional and global challenges of water security (and specifically the CERC program), and b) a platform and focus for the USask signature area of water. The institute combines expertise in natural, health and social sciences, public policy and engineering, recognizing that people and their activities are of critical importance for water science and management. GIWS respects the indigenous ways of living, land-based learning, and understands the profound changes that have occurred due to both climate change and human actions on their water resources. Hence, it strongly believe in empowering Indigenous communities in protecting their water resources and health through co-creation and co-development of research projects that bring traditional knowledge together with western science.

GIWS is the home of the Global Water Futures (GWF) program funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF), Government of Canada, which is the largest university-based fresh-water research program in the world. GWF is led by the USask, in partnership with University of Waterloo, McMaster University and Wilfrid Laurier University and has 335 partners and 388 researchers from 18 Canadian academic institutions. The goal of the program is to deliver risk management solutions - informed by leading-edge water science and supported by innovative decision-making tools - to manage water futures in Canada and other cold regions where global warming is changing landscapes, ecosystems, and the water environment.

On its way to this remarkable achievement, the GIWS has become the host of the World Climate Research Program’s (WCRP), only Regional Hydroclimate Project in North America – Global Water Futures - and also hosts the WCRP’s Global Hydroclimate Project & UNESCO’s International Hydrological Program - International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology (INARCH). In addition, GIWS is the Canadian node for the Sustainable Water Futures Program

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 xi along with the Future Earth programme. Recently, GIWS-USask has been approved as the contributing organization to the World Meteorological Organization through the GWF program.

GIWS aims to be a global leader in Cold Region water science and focuses its efforts through seven research themes: Climate Change and Water Security; Land-Water Management and Environmental Change; Sustainable Development of Natural Resources; Socio-hydrology, Water and health, Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies, and Groundwater and Hydrogeology. It has developed new, internationally recognized research facilities, have taken on important national and international science leadership roles, attracted substantial additional research funding, and are beginning to deliver the exciting science that was foreseen at the program outset.

GIWS has developed two important strategic educational initiatives in graduate education and training: 1) The NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) Program in Water Security, which commenced in September 2015 stimulates research Masters and PhD students to integrate science, engineering, and policy as they address current and future challenges in complex water systems. 2) Beginning in 2016, we are offering an innovative one- year professional Master of Water Security graduate program that provides intensive cross- training to build disciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise for research and practice.

GIWS strongly believes in professional development of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, particularly international scholars. GIWS offers a half-a-day workshop on “The Future Professoriate” to shed light on and facilitate discussions regarding the workings of academia for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows interested in pursuing academic careers. Also, student and postdoctoral fellows were advised in “creating a research brand” of their own ambitions and for a successful and satisfying research career. GIWS hosts a yearly Distinguished Lecture Series entitled “Breakthroughs in Water Security Research,” which brings 9 world-leading scientists to GIWS for lectures, tutorials and workshops in the areas of soil physics, instrumentation, lab experiments, uncertainty estimation, hydro-ecological modeling, watershed observatory networks, instream flow modeling, engineering hydrology, aquatic ecosystem science, isotope hydrology and socio-hydrology. This lecture series provides students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, staff and the broader community with an opportunity to understand breakthroughs in various areas of water security from a global perspective and to network with international leaders.

In 2018-19, GIWS core faculty and members have secured a total of $18.5 million (52% federal sources, 7% provincial, 25% industry, 14% international and 2% from USask sources) and financially supported and supervised 241 graduate students (101 PhD and 140 Masters), 45 postdoctoral fellows and 93 other HQP’s.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 xii GIWS members have published 364 journal articles, including papers in Science and Nature, published and presented 355 papers in proceedings and at conferences, delivered 130 plenary, key note and invited lectures, and published 17 book chapters and books.

In only 8 years of GIWS’s existence, it is unprecedented to have six Royal Society of Canada (RSC) Fellows, five American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fellows, one Miroslaw Romanowski Medal holder, one Einstein Professor-Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), one Soil Science Society of America Fellow, one EU Academy of Sciences Fellow, past-president of the 7500-member Hydrology Section of the AGU, and Vice-president of the Hydrology Section of the Canadian Geophysical Union.

Global Institute for Water Security Research Report July 2018 – June 2019 xiii 1. Global Institute for Water Security The Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) is the top ranked water resources research institute in Canada and one of the most advanced cold regions hydrology centres in the world. GIWS is led by Executive Director Dr. Jay Famiglietti, Canada 150 Research Chair in Hydrology and Remote Sensing (2018-2025) and a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, who uses satellites and develops advanced computer models to track how freshwater availability is changing around the globe.

Formed in March 2011, GIWS was funded initially through the Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) in Water Security, a $30-million, joint federal-provincial-university commitment between 2010-2017. GIWS was formed 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. Since its inception, GIWS is dedicated to protect our precious freshwater resources, which is a need for the world’s growing demand for sustainable food production; mitigating the risk of water-related disasters such as floods, droughts, and fires and predicting and forecasting extreme global change with advanced remote sensing and modelling techniques. GIWS respects the indigenous ways of living, land-based learning, and understands the profound changes that have occurred due to both climate change and human actions on their water resources. Hence, we strongly belive in empowering Indigenous communities in protecting their water resources and health through co-creation and co- development of research projects that bring traditional knowledge together with western science.

GIWS is the home of the Global Water Futures (GWF) program (2016-2023) partly funded by the $77.8 million grant from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF), Government of Canada, which is the largest university-based fresh-water research program in the world. The overarching goal of the program is to deliver risk management solutions - informed by leading- edge water science and supported by innovative decision-making tools - to manage water futures in Canada and other cold regions where global warming is changing landscapes, ecosystems, and the water environment.

GIWS is a one-stop-shop for water security research at the USask and manages individual research programs of more than 94 faculty members from 21 academic units. Since 2011, GIWS has recruited 16 core faculty members (7 faculty via the CERC program, 8 faculty via the GWF Program and 1 faculty by the Centennial Enhancement Chair (July, 2019) program), which is roughly equivalent to creation of a new department.

Following the previous years, 2018-19 has been a successful year to recognize that the GIWS executive group, core faculty and other members and students, have received diverse awards and honours. This report highlights the achievements and significant research outcomes of GIWS members and the initiative undertaken by them to establish new partnerships and collaborations to focus on GIWS vision for water security, i.e. to protect water resources for the growing demand of sustainable food production, water functions and services for humans and the environment, and protection against water-related hazards (flood and drought).

GIWS has strong focus on science communication and science informing policy. During the reporting year, GIWS/GWF in collaboration with the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) organized the first ever national workshop on flow forecasting on February 20-21, 2019, which was attended by forecasters from all 10 Provinces and 3 Territories, and major hydropower utilities including BC Hydro, Manitoba Hydro, and ON Power Generation. The purpose of the

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 4 workshop was to coordinate GWF and ECCC prediction efforts with those of the provinces and territories and also have open discussions on issues and needs. In addition, GIWS/GWF convened a national discussion on the future of water security in Canada on April 11, 2019 in Ottawa, ON. This event brought together more than 80 water and climate scientists, policy experts, legislators, and water decision rightholders and stakeholders.

The following timeline chart shows the sequence of achievements of the GIWS since September 2010 to-date.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 5 2. National Leadership – Global Water Futures In September 2016, the University of Saskatchewan (USask) was awarded $77.8 million from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF) (2016-2023) to lead the "Global Water Futures: Solutions to Water Threats in an Era of Global Change" (GWF) initiative—the largest university- led water research program ever funded worldwide. With additional partner funding, the total program budget is $143.7 million over seven years. Led by USask, the initiative is in partnership with University of Waterloo, McMaster University and Wilfrid Laurier University. GIWS administers and manages the GWF CFREF for the USask at the request of the USask Office of the Vice President Research. GWF aims to transform the way communities, governments, and industries prepare for and manage water related risks in an era of unprecedented change. Dr. John Pomeroy, Distin- guished Professor at the Depart- ment of Geography and Planning (USask) and Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change is the Director of the GWF Program. John Pomeroy, Director Global Water Futures Program meets Climate Activist Greta Thunberg at a USask Field Research Site at Jasper, Alberta GWF is a seven-year pan-Canadian research program focusing on solutions to water threats in the era of global change. Climate warming and human actions are altering precipitation patterns, reducing snow levels, accelerating glacier melting, intensifying floods, and increasing risk of droughts, while pollution from population growth and industrialization is degrading water systems. With such unprecedented change, it is clear that the historical patterns of water availability are no longer a reliable guide for the future. Adaptation to these changes will require new science to understand the changing earth system (changing climate, land, water and ecosystems and their interactions); new modeling tools that precisely capture these interconnected forces and their societal implications; new monitoring systems with greater capacity to warn of critical environmental changes; and more effective mechanisms to translate new scientific knowledge into societal action. 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?”

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 6 Critical needs for addressing this grand challenge include: (A) Improved disaster warning. (B) Predicting water futures. (C) Adapting to change and managing risk. GWF will achieve this through three interrelated pillars of activity.

The USask-led water research network involves 157 researchers from 15 Canadian Universities and 356 partners/ stakeholders representing a wide range of disciplines who works with international organizations such as UNESCO, the World Climate Research Programme,

Future Earth and World Meteorological Organization in GWF Activity Pillars developing the tools and models to mitigate water disasters, protect the environment, and take advantage of economic opportunities.

Here is a chart showing GWF by the numbers:

2.1 Transformative and Transdisciplinary Science Pillars 2.1.1 Core Modelling and Technical Support With a strength of 80 highly qualified personnel, GWF core support provides the necessary underpinning for certain core program objectives and deliverables, specifically:

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 7  National capability for the modelling needed to deliver key programme goals; and,  Capability for observational science, in particular with respect to key observatories  Support for delivering research that is driven by user-led needs and solutions GWF also provides core support teams for the programme as follows:  Knowledge Mobilization Support Team  Computer Science Team – Human Computer Interface and Re-engineering Codes  Observatories, Observations, and Data Management Team  Modelling Core Team o Hydrological and Water Quality Forecasting o Climate and Diagnostic Hydrological & Water Quality Modeling o Water Resources Modelling 2.1.2 Transformative Science, Big Data and Decision Tools The GWF program has funded 21 research projects under Pillars 1 & 2 across Canada totalling nearly $6.6 million over three years (2018-2021) to tackle some of Canada's most pressing water-related challenges. In total, 94 researchers from 10 Canadian universities are involved in collaboration with 37 partners including international institutions, government agencies, industry partners, non-governmental organizations, and Indigenous communities. The projects are training 100 highly-qualified personnel and are leveraging the GWF investment of $6.6 million with an additional $423,000 in cash and $3.2 million of in-kind contributions from partners.

These 21 projects are delivering on two key areas: transformative science to help us understand, diagnose and predict change; and developing new decision support systems using new sensors, analytical procedures, and computer models. These projects complement the previously funded user-question led Pillar 3 projects, and contribute to a better understanding of snow and rain- storms, floods and droughts, how to better measure and manage the quality of source waters, how the surface activities affect the deep groundwater, how to improve water governance and even how to encourage global water citizenship. The projects led by GIWS Members at USask are: 1) Collaborative Modelling Framework for Water Futures and Holistic Human Health Effects, Dr. Lalita Bharadwaj, 2) Old Meets New – Subsurface Hydrogeological Connectivity and Groundwater Protection, Dr. Grant Ferguson, 3) Developing ‘Omic’ and Chemical Fingerprinting Methodologies, Dr. Paul Jones, 4) Short-Duration Extreme Precipitation in Future Climate, Dr. Yangping Li, 5) Prairie Drainage Governance, Dr. Philip Loring, 6) Crowdsourcing Water Science, Dr. Graham Strickert, 7) Adaptation Governance and Policy Changes in Relation to a Changing Moisture Regime, Dr. Colin Laroque, 8) Hydrological Processes in Frozen Soils, Dr. Andrew Ireson, 9) Improved Estimates of Wetland Evaporation, Dr. Warren Helgason. Additional information is available at https://gwf.usask.ca/science/pillar-1-2-projects.php

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 8 2.1.3 User Questions-Led Projects The GWF program has funded 12 research projects across Canada totaling nearly $16.9 million over the three years (2017-2020) to tackle some of Canada’s most pressing water-related challenges. Four projects are led by the University of Saskatchewan, three by the University of Waterloo, three by McMaster University, one by Wilfrid Laurier University, and one is jointly led by the University of Manitoba and University of Victoria. The projects led by GIWS Members at USask are: 1) Next Generation Solutions to Ensure Healthy Water Resources for Future Generations, Dr. John Giesy, 2) Forecasting Tools and Mitigation Options for Diverse Bloom- Affected Lakes, Dr. Helen Baulch, 3) Prairie Water, Dr. Colin Whitfield and Dr. Chris Spence, and 4) Integrated Modelling Program for Canada, Dr. Saman Razavi.

In total, 117 researchers from 15 Canadian universities are involved in the 12 projects. They are collaborating with 135 partners including international institutions, government agencies, industry partners, non-governmental organizations, and Indigenous communities. About 278 highly qualified personnel are working on these projects over the next three years.

These projects were selected through an international peer-review process. The $16.9-million investment in the projects has leveraged another $26.4 million in cash from universities and partners, as well as $116.5 million in-kind contributions from partners.

The funded projects research include protecting prairie agricultural lands from drought and floods, mitigating algae blooms in lakes, developing new monitoring systems for Canadian watersheds using drones and satellites, using environmental DNA to assess ecosystem health, understanding the impact that changes to mountain snow packs and glaciers will have on drinking water, and co-create Indigenous water-quality tools with First Nations. Additional information is available at https://gwf.usask.ca/science/pillar-3-projects.php

2.1.4 Indigenous Community Water Research Indigenous Communities across Canada, and especially those located in the more northern latitudes and remote locations, have experienced profound change in the ways they coexisted with the land, waterways, and plant and animal life. The change is due to both climate and anthropogenic influences. Working together to address these challenges may address reconciliation, empowering community partners to design culturally appropriate and scientifically credible educational opportunities for youth. The human dimension of water is of strategic relevance to GWF and dedicated significant effort in addressing indigenous water security and social justice issues in Western and Northern Canada.

In 2017-18, the GWF program has reached out to numerous researchers, Indigenous community partners and other partners for advice on what water research GWF and Indigenous communities can conduct together to help address the water issues experienced by Indigenous communities. Consequently, a workshop was organized in Saskatoon, SK on April 17-18, 2018, and involved 62

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 9 attendees including 31 Indigenous community representatives to promote further discussion and action on these research ideas through development of Indigenous community – university partnership projects that both meet Indigenous community needs and are in alignment with the GWF vision/mission. This workshop provided an opportunity for Indigenous community members and GWF academic researchers to co-develop a strategy for Indigenous community water research.

While many GWF researchers had existing relationships and research projects in progress with their Indigenous partners, the workshop provided the first in-person opportunity for everyone to come together from across the country. The workshop included introductory presentations and working sessions aimed at identifying the funding opportunity from GWF, and co-designing expressions of interest and the proposal evaluation criteria of importance to research with Indigenous communities. The workshop was highly interactive with the discussions and working sessions focused on building on existing relationships, identifying new potential partnerships, identifying common research themes and community needs, co-designing proposal elements and evaluation criteria, and identifying leveraging opportunities with funding partners.

While sharing ideas and potential projects that were emerging, the following research themes were identified as key importance to research with and in Indigenous communities by the group, and which could be focus areas for collaboration and knowledge mobilization across projects (not an exhaustive list):  Citizen science (capacity building; monitoring; data acquisition)  Decision support and visualization (web of knowledge; data sharing; computer apps)  Impacts of floods, droughts, climate change, forestry and water management on water flow  Environmental flows (quantity; quality; habitat; sediment)  Western and traditional science (overlap; differences; standing)  Cultural strengthening as an outcome of research  Water and health (linking environmental and human health and livelihoods)  GIS and remote sensing tools (permafrost mapping; drones; autonomous sensors)  Governance and policy (legislation; knowledge; sharing; decision-making impact)

A funding of $1.63 million has been approved for 6 projects, which includes 69 academic and Indigenous community investigators, 14 Indigenous communities, 11 Canadian universities, and will train 36 highly qualified personnel over 3 years (2018-2021). The projects led by GIWS Members at USask are: 1) Is our Water Good to Drink? Water-Related Practices, Perceptions and Traditional Knowledge Indicators for Human Health, Dr. Corinne Schuster-Wallace and Dr. Lalita Bharadwaj, 2) We need more than just water: Assessing sediment limitation in a large freshwater delta, Dr. Tim Jardine.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 10 Additional information is available at https://gwf.usask.ca/science/indigenous-projects.php 2.1.5 Equity, Diversity and Inclusion The GWF is committed to ensuring our highly qualified personnel and student population reflect the diversity of society and that barriers to recruitment, selection, promotion and retention are removed for members of systematically disadvantages groups – particularly women, Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities and visible minorities. GWF is committed to diversity recruitment/retention, career development, and recognizing members of equity groups, including integrating the 10 key principles of the Athena Scientific Women’s Academic Network (SWAN) Charter into our policies, practices, and action plans, and culture. GWF is trying to role model equity through membership on our Oversight Committee (female PI & 2 out of 5 members are female), Strategic Management Committee (4 female out of 10 members), and panels, including workshops and Annual Science Meeting. We are also trying to implement principles outlined in the NSERC “Guide for Applicants: Considering equity, diversity and inclusion in your application”. https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/_doc/EDI/Guide_for_Applicants_EN.pdf

The following chart shows the equity, diversity and inclusion stats provided by the Federal CFREF Secretariat on GWF compared to total stats from 18 CFREF projects across Canada. GWF is granted above average in all of the categories except for the Indigenous people category. This could be due to fact that 178 personnel did not respond to the self-identification survey and that the Indigenous Communities co-led water research projects started in December 2018. Having said that, we will continue to adhere to the principle of equity, diversity and inclusion and will strive to better ourselves over coming years.

* In keeping with the Privacy Act, if the number of respondents who self-identified as belonging to one of the four groups is less than five, it is not provided to protect the privacy of the respondents.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 13  SDG 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development As part of the Operations Team Meeting agenda, various discussion sessions were organized to identify gaps and seek input on best practices that could be implemented to further strengthen the GWF research and networking activities. Meeting attendees were organized into 10 groups for Breakout Discussions focused on 4 topics: a) Forecasting and Modelling; b) Computer Science and Data Management; c) Knowledge Mobilization and Communications; and d) Core Teams Integration. In addition, a group discussion also ensued on the topic of Indigenous Communities Water Research. 2.3 2nd Annual Science Meeting GWF met for its 2nd Annual Open Science Meeting at TCU place in Saskatoon from May 15-17, 2019 and it was hosted by the University of Saskatchewan and co-hosted by Wanuskewin Heritage Park. The meeting's primary purpose was to provide the GWF community with an opportunity to come together and share their scientific findings and outcomes, activities and achievements with the GWF community and users/stakeholders.

With over 500 attending, 282 poster and oral presentations and 6 keynote plenary presentations, this was the largest water science meeting ever held in Canada. The meeting was open to all members and affiliates of the GWF Program, its extended community of partners, and others wanting to connect. It included many exciting, informative, and unique events and activities meant to review and better link together GWF’s technical and scientific advancements, while promoting further development and training of early career researchers, Indigenization and decolonization of GWF in the spirit of reconciliation, and engagement with partners and stakeholders.

The meeting was notable and unique for including significant contributions throughout from GWF Indigenous community co-led water research projects across Canada, and an Indigenous cultural sharing and learning exchange held at Wanuskewin Heritage Park. This involved local community Elders and members, Wanuskewin interpretive staff, and the Office of Indigenous Initiatives at USask, who shared knowledge of the history, culture, spirituality and worldview of the Indigenous Peoples of the region.

Parallel thematic sessions focused on: (i) climate and hydrology, (ii) human dimensions and hydro-economics, (iii) ecosystems and water quality, and (iv) modeling advancements. These sessions revealed the remarkable range and quality of research being undertaken across GWF and fostered collaboration, synthesis and discussions on research impact with partners and users. Plenary sessions featured keynote talks by high-level scientists and leaders on key issues relevant to GWF, linking with each of the themes covered in parallel sessions. Plenaries also included highlights of some of the research accomplishments from the GWF Program, and provided an

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 15 3. International Engagement and Aspirations Water Security is one of the greatest challenges for humankind, with global implications. There is a need: a) to develop local and regional studies that are of global significance, and to share that information, b) to address key water challenges around the world, and c) to provide students and researchers with new insights and tools to address these problems. International collaboration and cooperation therefore play a critical role in advancing water science to deliver sustainable solutions.

GIWS strongly believes that internationalization of higher education embraces the mobility of faculty and students, educational aids and international cooperation, and curriculum internationalization. In other words, internationalization of higher education includes faculty and student exchange, joint teaching and research programs, as well as international curriculum development and delivery.

GIWS’s philosophy has been to give Canadian students international experience and to give international students Canadian experiences. Our students and postdoctoral fellows represents ethnic and gender diversity representing a mixing of cultures – scientifically and sociologically – which are the key to breakthroughs. 3.1 Leadership of International Programs GIWS is the host of the World Climate Research Program’s (WCRP), only Regional Hydroclimate Project in North America – Global Water Futures (GWF) - and also hosts the WCRP’s Global Hydroclimate Project & UNESCO’s International Hydrological Program - International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology (INARCH). In addition, GIWS is the Canadian node for the Sustainable Water Futures Program with the Future Earth programme. Recently, GIWS-USask has been approved as the contributing organization to the World Meteorological Organization through the GWF program.

3.1.1 World Climate Research program GWF is one of the three Regional Hydroclimate Projects of the Global Energy and Water Exchanges projects (GEWEX) of the UN World Climate Research Programme that aims to improve the understanding and prediction of a region’s weather, climate, and hydrology. This partnership allows greater access to global modelling and satellite data, and in turn, provides a forum for GWF to communicate research results to the international community.

3.1.2 UNESCO & World Climate Research Program The International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology (INARCH) project is led by John Pomeroy, Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change. INARCH is a Global Hydroclimate Programme (GHP), cross-cut project of WCRP’s GEWEX and a recognized contribution to the world water security initiative of UNESCO’s International Hydrological

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 16 Programme. The overall objective of INARCH is to better understand alpine cold region hydrological processes, improve their prediction and find consistent measurement strategies. To achieve this objective it is necessary to develop transferable and validated model schemes of different complexity that can support research in data-sparse mountain headwaters where climate change impacts on water resources are anticipated to be very severe. INARCH has 25 intensely instrumented high-mountain research catchments in North and South America, Europe and Asia that form a vast outdoor intercomparison laboratory. By combining the expertise of over 40 principal collaborators from 17 countries, INARCH addresses important issues such as snow, glacier and permafrost hydrology; representation of snow and ice in hydrological land surface models, model downscaling in complex terrain, and improving the prediction of climate change impacts in the mountain headwaters that support water resources for half the world’s population. [www.usask.ca/inarch]

3.1.3 Future Earth – Sustainable Water Future Program The Sustainable Water Future Program (Water Future) is a global research programme established under Future Earth [http://www.futureearth.org/] and aims to provide the knowledge and support to accelerate transformations to a ‘more sustainable water world’. The GIWS has developed a memorandum of understanding to establish a collaborative Partnership, founded on the principles of collaboration and cooperation, to provide expertise and resources for undertaking coordinated and strategic research activities that will underpin the sustainable management and use of water in this time of significant global environmental change. The broad aim is to enhance the contribution of strategic scientific and technical research and innovation to the sustainable management of the hydrological cycle, including rivers, groundwater and wetlands. Consequently, the GIWS through the GWF program is now considered as the Canadian hub and a secretariat to support Canadian engagement with Water Futures in order to build links to the international community and Future Earth. GIWS publicizes the activities and achievements of the program with a particular emphasis on global cold regions, and enhance the contribution of strategic scientific and technological research and innovation to the sustainable management of the hydrological cycle, including rivers, glaciers, snowpacks, rivers, groundwater, permafrost and wetlands.

3.1.4 World Meteorological Organization GIWS through the GWF program is now a contributing organisation to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) through the Executive Council Panel of Experts on Polar and High Mountain Observations, Research and Services (EC PHORS), which promote and coordinate relevant programmes that are carried out in the Antarctic, Arctic and high mountain regions by nations and by groups of nations.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 17 4. Training 4.1 Notable Short Courses The University of Saskatchewan Centre for Hydrology and the GWF with the assistance of the Canadian Society for Hydrological Sciences offered an intensive course in Kananaskis on the Physical Principles of Hydrology with particular relevance to Canadian conditions at the University of Calgary’s Biogeoscience Institute’s Barrier Lake Station in the Kananaskis Valley from January 10-21, 2019. The course was intended for hydrology and water resources graduate students and early to midlevel career water resource engineers, hydrologists, aquatic ecologists and technologists who either are working directly in hydrology and water resources or are looking to broaden their understanding of hydrological systems and processes. [http://www.usask.ca/hydrology/CSHS_PoH_ShortCourse_2019.php]

During this course, factors governing hydrological processes in Canadian landscapes were discussed including precipitation, interception, energy balance, snow accumulation, snowmelt, glaciers, evaporation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, groundwater movement and streamflow routing and hydraulics. These processes were framed within the context of distinctly Canadian landscape features such as high mountains, glaciers, peatlands, prairies, tundra, boreal forests, frozen rivers and seasonally frozen ground. Students were exposed to an overview of each subject, with recent scientific findings and new innovative theories, tools and techniques. They completed numerical and essay assignments to develop skills in problem solving and in synthesizing complex hydrological concepts. Field examinations in nearby environments and research basins enhanced the learning experience.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 18 4.2 Graduate Program in Water Security The Members of GIWS proposed the professional Master of Water Security (MWS) in 2016 (administered by the School of Environment and Sustainability), which is a 12-month program of study that prepares graduates to investigate and address water security issues of regional, national and international significance. MWS students get training in science, planning, and policy analysis before they can apply these skills in a major project or placement. The class strength each year has been increasing with students from diverse interdisciplinary backgrounds accepted from all over the world and Canada. In 2018-2019, this cross-disciplinary, project and course- based master's degree placed students for their summer projects at various research, government and non-government organizations. These projects have strenghtened GIWS connection and partnership with organizations such as the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency, Environment Canada, Ministry of Environment, Government of Northwest Territories, etc. Additionally, the School of Environment and Sustainability (USask) and GIWS developed international project and placement options in China and Sub-Saharan Africa. Also, the MWS course is now offered at Beijing Normal University (BNU) in Beijing, China; where the faculty members of the GIWS deliver in class and webinar training to graduates in China.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 22 5. Saskatchewan River Basin – A Large-Scale Observatory With support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), GIWS has established the Saskatchewan River Basin (SaskRB; 410,000 km2) as a large-scale observatory, which has come to be seen as an internationally leading initiative. The multiple dimensions of water security and the accom- panying science and management challenges, ranging from issues of water quality and quantity, anthropogenic activit- Saskatchewan River Basin ies, competing societal uses, industrialization, agricultural intensification, extreme weather events (flooding and drought), etc. are all represented in the SaskRB. The basin, with an area approximately half the size of France, spans Canada’s three Prairie Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and faces a climate characterized by extremes and rapid climate change. Further, the basin encompasses critical environments deemed significant both nationally and globally. 5.1 Canadian Rockies Hydrological Observatory In Western Canada, the availability of water is dependent upon coldwater processes involving snow, glaciers, wetlands and frozen soils that control the storage and delivery of water to river systems. The CFI-funded Canadian Rockies Hydrological Observatory includes Marmot Creek in the sub-alpine and montain forested Saskatche- wan River headwaters, Lake O'Hara Video File: Canadian Rockies Hydrological Observatory https://water.usask.ca/research/saskatchewan-river-basin- alpine sites and the Natural /sites.php Resources Canada (NRCan)-funded Columbia Icefield Glacier-Climate Observing System in the glaciated Athabasca headwaters, Alberta. This provides a cluster of >25 high elevation snow/ice and hydro-meteorological stations in nested gauged catchments, which helps in improving understanding and description of governing processes for mountain water supply, improving

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 23 modelling of mountain hydrological systems, and to improve prediction of mountain water supply. Unique observations of alpine and sub-alpine sub-surface storage and release are available from Lake O'Hara and Marmot Creek. Alpine treelines in this area are advancing in elevation where geomorphology and microclimate permit. Provin-cial, territorial and federal obser-vation stations for flood fore-casting, climate and fire prediction are clustered at both high and low elevations in the region. The archive Marmot Creek covers most of 50 years. Sibbald Wetlands is the focus of hydro-ecological research into Rocky Mountain wetlands and the effects of current and legacy beaver activity. 5.2 Prairies The prairie hydrology is complex and presents a unique set of challenges including the effects of changing climate on agriculture, flood and drought risk, and water quality. In addition, land management practices, such as drainage and wetland removal, are changing the landscape and the ecological services that it provides.

The St. Denis National Wildlife Area site comprises internally drained wetlands, cultivated fields and pasture, and consists of numerous prairie pothole lakes of varying salinity. The focus is on runoff processes and pothole lake connectivity, surface-subsurface interactions and salinity dynamics. Brightwater Creek, near Kenaston, Saskatchewan, represents a mesonet site of lowland level pasture and cultivated grasslands. Multi-scale monitoring of spatial soil moisture, groundwater and land-atmosphere interactions is ongoing. Specialised soil moisture measurement arrays, cosmic ray soil moisture probes, a geological weighing lysimeter coupled to a network of groundwater observation wells, atmospheric measurements using large aperture scintillometer and Sonic Detection and Ranging (SODAR) and weather radar provide a unique concentration of measurements in a Canadian prairie environment. Hydrological connectivity and the effects of agricultural drainage on flows and water quality is the research focus at Smith Creek, Saskatchewan. The site has demonstrated the dramatic effects of inter-annual climate variability on water quality, and a complex response of flood generation and transmission to agricultural drainage. The effects of agricultural Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) on flows and water quality, particularly those associated with changing tillage practices and on-farm reservoirs, are explored at Tobacco Creek, Manitoba. The Swift Current research site in Saskatchewan is home to AAFC agricultural research runoff plots. Thorough analysis of high frequency, long-term data, experimental monitoring of the surface hydrology and hydrological model building and testing are conducted at this site to improve understanding of the fundamental drivers of threshold-like hydrological runoff responses to snowmelt and rainfall events in a semi-arid, prairie landscape. Similarly, at semi-arid West Nose Creek site in Alberta, the studies are focused on groundwater recharge, groundwater hydraulics, surface- groundwater interaction, snow hydrology, and sustainable watershed management. At the Rosthern research

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 24 site in Saskatchewan, the effect of agricultural practices such as stubble height on prairie snow dynamics, melting, and management is studied.

Research to explore water quality issues in the basin spans the study of the winter biogeochemistry of lakes to the monitoring of pharmaceutical products and heavy metals in urban wastewater and storm water. The first major study of pollutant loads and their ecological impacts for the South Saskatchewan River, Lake Diefenbaker and its tributary, Swift Current Creek, is underway. This project brings together researchers from the USask (Biology, Toxicology, Geography, Civil and Geological Engineering, the Schools of Environmental and Sustainability and Public Health), Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency. Lake Diefenbaker is more than 200 kilometers long and plays a major role in the economic and social development of a large proportion of the province. However, the capability of the reservoir to continue to provide water of reasonable quality under rapid economic development and under a changing climate is unknown given nutrient loads and increasing evidence of eutrophication. A comprehensive evaluation of the sensitivity of the reservoir to current and future nutrient inputs includes limnology, paleo-limnology, toxicology and hydrodynamic water quality modelling. A similar study has been initiated for Buffalo Pound Lake, including real-time water quality monitoring to support treatment of this major source of drinking water for the cities of Regina and Moosejaw, Saskatchewan.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 26 5.3 Boreal Forest Key short-term objectives of research conducted at Boreal Forest sites are to assess the vulnerability of ecosystem response to climate variability and change, and the performance of land surface schemes for simulating hydrological processes in the Boreal Forest. Longer-term objectives are to synthesize, integrate and upscale hydro-ecological understanding of stand-scale processes to watershed scales. The western boreal forest study area traverses the latitudinal and altitudinal extents of boreal forests in Canada and the range of permafrost conditions across which these forests exist (non-permafrost through to deep, continuous permafrost). Western permafrost-free boreal sites include the Boreal Ecosystem Research and Monitoring Sites (BERMS) in Saskatchewan that derive from the mid-1990s NASA-Canada Boreal Ecosystem- Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) and were subsequently expanded to the Environment Canada (EC) BERMS Programme. These sites in the Boreal Plains ecozone are characterized by heterogeneous forest types interspersed with wetlands and frequent wildfire disturbance, and include Black Spruce, Aspen, Jack Pine and Fen. Additional data sources in this region include Northern Alberta flux tower sites, developed in collaboration with the Oil Sands industry, as well as provincial and federal observation stations for Video File: Boreal Forest climate and fire prediction. https://water.usask.ca/research/saskatchewan-river-basin- /sites.php 5.4 River Deltas The Saskatchewan River, Peace-Athabasca, and Slave River deltas are biologically diverse and complex systems of rivers, lakes, and wetlands. These deltas support a range of fish, wildlife, bird, and plant species. The ecological changes in these deltas are often an indicator of issues arising in our river systems; if there are problems, people in the delta are often the first to notice. These deltas continue to play an important role in supporting traditional, subsistence, and cultural activities of the Indigenous peoples who have occupied these regions since time immemorial. Historically, inland deltas were also a central part of the fur trade industry.

Located near the Saskatchewan/ Manitoba border, the Saskatchewan River Delta is a complex series of abandoned and active river channels, lakes and wetlands. Home to Cumberland Marshes, which has been designated as an Important Bird Area, this region experiences the accumulated effects of upstream water use, including abstractions and power generation. Since the beginning of the last century, annual discharge has been reduced by approximately 30%. In addition, winter base-flow is now higher and spring freshets have been dampened due to storage

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 27 in upstream reservoirs. Experts in climate, hydrology, ecology and social science are addressing the cumulative repercussions of these changes in flow for the production of fish, water-birds and mammals, and for the activities and livelihoods of local communities. The aim of this research is to develop scenarios and an operational plan to provide for sustainable hydropower output without endangering the Delta habitat in the long-term.

Major Research Facilities This section highlights a few of the major laboratory facilities that are part of the GIWS. 6.1 Multipurpose Overlay Site Testing Facility The GIWS Multipurpose Overlay Site Testing (MOST) facility is a research and testing facility that serves as a hub for the development of hillslope hydrological models in relation to mine cover systems and landscape engine-eering. The facility is funded by Western Eco-nomic Diversification and includes a strong partnership with O’Kane MOST Open House for Industries Consulting, a world leader in mine cover design.

Located across the street from the GIWS offices at the National Hydrology Research Centre, the facility is the first of its kind to provide pilot scale cover trials with replications of key processes (placement, climate, slope/aspect, vegetation) and the ability to evaluate and characterize the key mechanisms controlling the water dynamics in soils and soil cover design.

Soil covers are designed to return a site to its natural condition and isolate waste material so it does not damage the environment. The partially climate-controlled MOST facility allows companies and researchers to design and test soil cover systems under varying climatic conditions before building covers on-site, saving both time and money in the design and testing phases.

Eng-ineering tests utilizing load cells and infrared thermal imaging are performed to evaluate the performance of water drainage and water proofing systems, respectively.

The GREEN Facility is bridging the critical gap between small scale (e.g. soil cores), typically unrepresentative lab experiments, and complex, time consuming and costly large-scale constructed roofs. [https://mostfacility.usask.ca/green/]

6.3 Smart Water Systems Laboratory The SWSL was recently created with support from Western Economic Diversification Canada to develop novel water and snow sensing technologies and bring them to pre-commercialization and commercialization stage. The SWSL will transform the observation of Canadian waters by detecting change in water quantity and quality at high resolutions. SWSL is developing novel sensors that measure snowpacks, ice, open water, flooding, streamflow, soil mois- Drone with Smart Water Sensor ture, wetlands, vegetation and algal growth. Many of these sensors will be deployed on specialized all-weather drones (unmanned aerial systems) for rapid deployment across Canada with first applications in the Prairies and the mountain headwaters of the Saskatchewan River Basin.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 30 6.5 Environmental DNA Analytical Laboratory The Environmental DNA (eDNA) laboratory offers the widest possible range of capabilities relevant to water quality, including aquatic chemistry and toxicology. The lab currently has two UHR-MS systems, one interfaced to a liquid chromatography (LC) system and the other to a gas chromatograph (GC). They are also capable of a wide range of analyses for small molecules both man-made and natural. In addition to identification and quantification of both natural and synthetic molecules, the capabilities include proteomics and metabolomics as well as characterization of large molecules, such as natural dissolved organic matter, including humic and fulvic acids, tannins, peptides and amino acids. Depending on the specific application, the instruments are also capable of automated sample extraction and processing for increased accuracy and decreased labor costs. Our aim with the next LOI would be to determine who would be interested in accessing these capabilities and how we might support the various user needs.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 32 7. Research Themes and Major Projects The area of water security research is broad. To guide our efforts, and based on our current research strengths, we have identified a set of seven inter-disciplinary research themes, recognizing the need for deep disciplinary knowledge and the broader disciplinary dimensions of water security, and addressing challenges of local, regional and global significance.

These themes are supported by fully instrumented research observatories within Saskatchewan River Basin and Mackenzie River Basin providing data of regional and global significance. Due to the importance of, and diversity in, its cold region hydro-climate and ecological zones, the rapid rate of environmental change and the need for improved understanding, diagnosis and modelling of change, the basin also raises numerous globally-relevant science challenges. 7.1 Climate Change and Water Security Developing sophisticated understanding and modelling of current and future effects of climate change on hydrology, ecology and water resource systems, and the associated land-atmosphere feedbacks. 7.2 Land-water Management and Environmental Change Video File: Forecasting Extreme Weather Events https://water.usask.ca/resources/overview- Exploring the effects of agricultural and urban videos.php#ResearchPrograms land and water management on water quality and water movement through a watershed, as well as the potential for agricultural beneficial management practices (BMPs) to mitigate adverse effects. 7.3 Sustainable Development of Natural Resources Developing new science and management practices that could significantly change the way water is used, how land and water are managed, and how environmental risks are assessed and managed in natural resources development. 7.4 Socio-hydrology This program encompasses both the human drivers of hydrological change and the social processes through which hydrological science is translated and communicated to relevant decision-makers. Video File: Socio-Hydrology https://water.usask.ca/resources/overview- videos.php#ResearchPrograms

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 33 7.5 Water and Health We are looking at issues that are critical to society, such as drinking water quality, water hygiene and sanitation, transmission of waterborne and water-related diseases in an ecosystem, aquatic pollution and effects on the food chain, wastewater re-use, extreme events such as flooding and drought, and health-based water quality standards. 7.6 Water and Wastewater Treatment Technologies We are assessing impacts of contaminants on environmental and human health by addressing challenges that include appropriate technology for rural communities; development of advanced water treatment technologies to tackle emerging contaminants in our water systems, improved technologies for the treatment of industrial wastes, including those generated by natural resource extraction, and improved technologies for remediation of pollution. 7.7 Groundwater and Hydrogeology This theme is exploring major challenges to quantify the extent of groundwater resources and their quality, the natural recharge, the long–term impacts of abstractions and waste disposals, the impact of resource development, and hence to provide the information needed for sustainable development. 7.8 Major Projects Members of the GIWS are working efficiently on these themes and collaborating with several partners and stakeholders to follow the Mission and Vision of GIWS. Some of the major on-going projects by members of the GIWS have been listed below:

7.8.1 Next Generation Solutions to Ensure Healthy Water Resources for Future Generations, John Giesy, University of Saskatchewan1 Emerging and transformative technologies in biology and bioinformatics provide new capability to address urgent environmental needs. In this project, Environmental DNA (eDNA) and next generation sequencing (NGS) methods will be applied to monitor current status and predict future trends of the structures and functions of aquatic ecosystems exposed to stressors in Canada. Together these technologies have the potential to provide more rapid, comprehensive, and objective assessments of ecosystem status, including the presence of rare and endangered species, in real time, while reducing costs. This research program will provide end-users with new tools for assessing effects of environmental stressors; both natural and those caused by humans, such as changes in land use, climate, agricultural runoff and wastewater influents.

In addition, while solving blooms is a grand challenge, managing their impact is a key interim goal. Since these blooms have been increasing in Canada and across the globe, the need to understand the current health risks and how to mitigate these blooms through a science-based approach is critical. This project will aim to reduce current risks via improved communication and forecasting and understanding the triggers of cyanobloom initiation and collapse to inform in-lake mitigation measures and improving our use of rapidly evolving new technologies to mitigate risk.

7.8.3 Prairie Water, Colin Whitfield, University of Saskatchewan and Chris Spence, Environ-ment and Climate Change Canada3 Prairie Water will address sustainable water management and enhance water resilience under a changing climate across three interrelated themes: hydrology, groundwater, wetlands, and governance. This project will include a set of Prairie-specific large-basin and local watershed- scale models that predict runoff, groundwater recharge and the distribution, abundance and persistence of wetlands across the region under changing climate and its variability; a set of decision support tools to help users understand the impacts of wetland drainage and restoration; new assessment of groundwater resources and their sustainable management; and a multi- stakeholder process for how to mobilize science with communities and governance.

7.8.4 Integrated Modelling Program for Canada (IMPC), Saman Razavi, University of Saskat- chewan4 This project will seek to provide an integrated platform for forecasting, prediction and decision making under future water uncertainty. Advanced modelling tools will be developed and integrated to represent interactions across climatic, hydrological, ecological, economic, and management systems. These tools will enable prediction of extreme events such as floods and droughts and provide a new paradigm for model development, integrated water management and user engagement. Working closely in collaboration with stakeholders and user communities, this integrated modelling and management platform will identify tipping points and critical trade- offs for decision analysis and deliver optimal solutions using state-of-the-art tools for multi- criteria decision analysis under deep uncertainty. In addition, advanced visualization tools will enable researchers to improve communication and decision support with user groups. This

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 project will develop a modelling capability for the prediction and management of Canada’s seven major river basins.

7.8.5 Is our Water Good to Drink? Water-Related Practices, Perceptions and Traditional Knowledge (TK) Indicators for Human Health, Corinne Schuster-Wallace and Lalita Bharadwaj, University of Saskatchewan5 This project will explore the similarities and differences between Western Science indicators of what is considered “safe to drink” and the TK concept of what is “good to drink”. This will be achieved through an exploration of water-related health, how human health (encompassing physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional health) is affected by “good” and “bad” water, development of appropriate TK indicators, and community case studies. Through this process and its outcomes, communities will be able to better understand and assess water-related health in Indigenous communities through a TK system and be able to share this with government agencies currently responsible for water management, remediation, and quality monitoring.

7.8.6 We need more than just water: Assessing sediment limitation in a large freshwater delta, Tim Jardine, University of Saskatchewan6 The project examines whether sediment restoration may be feasible for the once vibrant Saskatchewan River delta ecosystem. Together, the team will determine historical understandings of floods and sediment transport through interviews with elders in the community whose lifespan predates upstream dam construction. The team will test for toxicity in the sediments that are currently depositing in reservoirs to ensure that moving sediment back into the delta will not come with harmful side effects. Additionally, the team plans to create a model of sediment transport to determine where sediment will deposit under different scenarios (reduced or increased flow, addition of sediment, construction of additional dams and weirs). The major outcome of this work will be an improved understanding of the feasibility of sediment restoration downstream of dams. And the developed water and sediment transport model and simulation tool can be applied to other deltas and floodplains that are subject to similar upstream stressors.

7.8.7 Old Meets New: Subsurface Hydrogeological Connectivity and Groundwater Protection, Grant Ferguson, University of Saskatchewan7 The first phase of this project is conducting a review of the available data for western Canada to improve understanding of hydrogeological connectivity. The team will select a number of case studies to represent typical hydrogeological environments of concern and produce a series of maps and databases. Water chemistry will be compiled for various hydrogeological units to improve ability to fingerprint and differentiate groundwaters. This data will be supplemented by

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 sampling and analysis of water from provincial groundwater monitoring networks and other sampling opportunities from industry. Numerical models will be used to interpret existing physical and chemical hydrogeological data for a series of case studies and improve conceptual understanding of these systems. The second phase will also focus on developing additional case studies within western Canada to test and improve the findings of the first phase.

7.8.8 Omic’ and Chemical Fingerprinting Methodologies using Ultrahigh-resolution Mass Spectro- metry (UHR-MS) for Geochemistry and Healthy Waters, Paul Jones, University of Saskatchewan8 ‘Omics’ approaches such as proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics along with chemical fingerprinting technologies can be used as powerful tools to monitor the current status and to predict future trends in ecosystem structure and function. As an example, organisms living in Canada’s north and at high altitudes, must annually adjust their metabolisms and the lipid components in their cellular membranes to adapt to changing temperatures. Natural constituents of surface waters, such as humic and fulvic acids, proteins and amino acids are important for regulating geochemical processes, but are complex and to date have not been well characterized. In addition, toxic products of HABs are complex and have been difficult to characterize, but the newly established UHR-MS systems will allow for much better characterization of these important compounds. The longer-term goal (years 4-7) is to work with researchers to apply these techniques to assess aquatic resources in support of end-user needs and priorities of the GWF platform.

7.8.9 Short-duration Extreme Precipitation in Future Climate, Yanping Li, University of Saskatchewan9 Understanding of the physical processes affecting short-duration (less than 24 hours) extreme precipitation and their possible changes in the warming world is critical for many of GWF’s users. This study makes extensive use of a convection-permitting-modeling tool running in a pseudo-global warming mode, and comparing it with existing simulations by global and regional climate models. The team proposes to work specifically on the following four questions: i) Does temperature scaling work at convective-permitting resolutions for short-duration local precipitation extremes? ii) How will the characteristics of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) such as the precipitation intensity, size, and life-span of storms change in the future? iii) What are the underlying physical processes that result in changes in MCSs and storm properties? iv) How do extreme precipitation features scale across resolution from GCMs to RCMs to convective permitting WRF? The proposed work will lead to a better understanding of the physical soundness of future precipitation projections by climate models, thereby providing a scientific foundation for the proper use of model projections that many GWF’s users depend on.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 8. Significant Research Outcomes GIWS members are involved in a broad set of water security research projects ranging from basic research to applied research of local and global significance. Our research projects have produced many outcomes to advance scientific understanding and its socio-economic significance. Selected examples are provided below. 8.1 Opportunities To Mitigate Nutrient Losses To Surface Waters In The Northern Great Plains10 The Northern Great Plains is a key region to global food production. It is also a region of water stress that includes poor water quality associated with high concentrations of nutrients. Agricultural nitrogen and phosphorus loads to surface waters need to be reduced, yet the unique characteristics of this environment create challenges. The nutrients in these plains are primarily transported in dissolved form during the snowmelt period and limits the efficacy of many beneficial management practices (BMPs) commonly used in other regions. This study discusses soil and water management BMPs through a regional lens—first understanding key aspects of hydrology and hydrochemistry affecting BMP efficacy, then discussing the merits of different BMPs for nutrient control.

8.2 Potential For Agricultural Impoundments To Act As Sinks Of Nitrous Oxide11 Surface waters within agricultural landscapes experience the full impact of Nitrogen pollution and eutrophication and can contribute substantially to total landscape N2O emissions. However,

N2O measurements to date have focused on flowing waters. Small artificial waterbodies remain greatly understudied in the context of agricultural N2O emissions. This study provides a regional 2 analysis of N2O measurements in small (<0.01 km ) artificial reservoirs, of which an estimated 16 million exist globally and shows that 67% of reservoirs in Canada’s largest agricultural area were

N2O sinks. The study noted the overestimation of measured fluxes from previously published models based on agricultural reservoirs, challenging the widely held view that eutrophic N- enriched waters are sources of N2O.

8.3 Detecting Brown Trout eDNA Using A Designed Specific Dual-Labelled Probe In A Stream12 Despite many studies having made signiﬁcant progress for the future use of eDNA in terms of ecosystem composition and detection of invasive/rare species in inland waters, much remains

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 unknown about the transport and fate of eDNA under natural environmental conditions. In this study, a specific dual-labelled probe was designed to detect brown trout (Salmo trutta, L.) eDNA further to describe the fate of eDNA released from an aquaculture facility into the low mountain range stream in Wehebach, Germany. The results of the study indicates that the release of DNA from brown trout might be life stage and/or age-dependent. Under natural environmental conditions (during mid-summer) a rapid and steady decrease of brown trout eDNA concentration downstream of the main source was observed. The factors driving this decrease are expected to be manifold. Biomass of ﬁsh appeared not to be the only parameter governing the rate of DNA release, and the life stage and age of ﬁsh might be a potential factor to be considered.

8.4 Do Hillslope‐Scale Processes Matter To Predicting Global Change?13 Hillslopes are key landscape features that organize water availability on land. Valley bottoms are wetter than hilltops, and sun-facing slopes are warmer and drier than shaded ones. This hydrologic organization leads to systematic differences in soil and vegetation between valleys and hilltops, and between sunny and shady slopes. Although these patterns are fundamental to understanding the structures and functions of water and terrestrial ecosystems, they are too ﬁne grained to be represented in global-scale Earth System Models. Here we bring together Critical Zone scientists who study the interplay of vegetation, the porous upper layer of the continental crust from vegetation to bedrock, and moisture dynamics deep into the weathered bedrock underlying hillslopes and Earth System Model scientists who develop global models, to ask: Do hillslope-scale processes matter to predicting global change? The answers will help scientists understand where and why hillslopes matter, and to better predict how terrestrial ecosystems, including societies, may affect and be affected by our rapidly changing planet.

8.5 Competition For Shrinking Window Of Low Salinity Groundwater14 Declining water tables and near-surface contamination are driving groundwater users to construct deeper wells in many US aquifer systems. This has been a successful short-term mitigation measure where deep groundwater is fresh and free of contaminants. Nevertheless, vertical salinity proﬁles are not well-constrained at continental-scales. This study quantify depths that aquifer systems transition from fresh-to-brackish and where oil and gas activities are widespread in sedimentary basins across the United States. The study concludes that fresh groundwater is less abundant in several key US basins than previously thought; therefore drilling deeper wells to access fresh groundwater resources is not feasible extensively across the continent. Findings in this study illustrate that groundwater stores are being depleted not only

8.6 Prairie Pond Model15 This is a coupled flow and stable isotope mass balance model that can be used to partition pond loses between evaporation and infiltration, using observations of oxygen-18 and deuterium. The prairie pond model is written in Python 2.7. To run the model, it is necessary to configure the inputs in the file Input.xlsx and to place the script in the same folder as the input. The script can run in three modes: 1) simulate partitioning of evaporation and infiltration with fixed parameters; 2) optimize the proportion of evaporation and infiltration to fit water level and isotopic composition of the pond; 3) run a sensitivity analysis. The script can also be adapted to other run cases.

8.7 Modelling Approach For Operational Real-Time Ice-Jam Flood Forecasting16 Karl-Erich Lindenschmidt et al., 2019a, developed a novel stochastic modelling approach to operationally forecast ice-jam floods. The approach was first developed for the Town of Peace River on the Peace River, in collaboration with Stantec and NSERC. Then refined for the Athabasca River at Fort McMurray, in collaboration with the Governments of Alberta and Newfoundland/Labrador (NFLD), the Canadian Space Agency and C-Core. The approach has been implemented in the Gov’t of NFLD’s flood forecasting system to operationally forecast ice-jam floods on the (Atlantic) Churchill River in Labrador, in collaboration with KGS Group, 4DM Inc. and the Gov’t of NFLD. This first ice-jam flood forecasting system has ever been developed for operational use worldwide. The method is currently being implemented into the flood forecasting systems of the Exploits and Humber rivers in Newfoundland in collaboration with Wood, Hatch Inc. and the Gov`t of NFLD. The forecasting methodology is also tested for the Red River in partnership with Manitoba Infrastructure.

8.8 Can Stated Measures Of Willingness-To-Accept Be Valid?17 Willingness-to-accept (WTA) questions have been largely abandoned in stated preference empirical work in favor of eliciting willingness-to-pay (WTP) responses, mainly due to perceived unreliability of questions that ask respondents for compensation amounts. This paper reassesses whether stated WTA welfare measures can be valid in public and private good contexts. The study conducts two sets of laboratory experiments to analyze whether elicitation format, survey design

The results are consistent with the WTP literature and suggest that WTA values can be valid as long as responses have consequences for respondents. For the private good experiment, the study focuses on whether respondents are motivated to affect the price or the provision of the good. The study finds that strategic behavior is present and in the direction expected by theory. Survey framing and the use of follow-up questions can provide bounds on the value estimates.

8.9 Increase Of Precipitation Extremes Under Global Warming18 Global warming is expected to change the regime of extreme precipitation. Physical laws translate increasing atmospheric heat into increasing atmospheric water content that drives precipitation changes. This study performs a global analysis of 8,730 daily precipitation records focusing on the 1964–2013 period when the global warming accelerates. The analysis offers new insights and reveals (1) global and zonal increasing trends in the frequency of extremes that are highly unlikely under the assumption of stationarity and (2) magnitude changes that are not as evident. This paper has received global attention and appeared in more than 100 news outlets. The author Simon-Michael Papalexiou gave radio and press interviews including NBC. The research was twitted by the NBC official account to 6.6 million followers as well as by the official AGU account to 70,000 followers. It also became a research spotlight at the prestigious EOS journal.

8.10 The PULSE Model: Simulation Of Snowpack Solute Dynamics To Capture Runoff Ionic Pulses During Snowmelt19 Early ionic pulse during spring snowmelt can account for a significant portion of the total annual nutrient load in seasonally snow-covered areas. Very few process-based mathematical models have been proposed for a diagnostic and prognostic investigation of this phenomenon. The PULSE model is proposed to simulate ionic pulses in runoff by emulating solute leaching from snow grains during melt and the subsequent vertical solute transport by meltwater through the snowpack. The model was applied to two regions, and a total of 4 study sites, that are subject to significantly different winter climatic and hydrological conditions. For the first time a model enables the prediction of concentration profiles of the dry (snow) and liquid (wet) fractions within the snow matrix. Although there is a computational cost associated with the proposed modelling framework, this study demonstrates that it can provide more detailed information about the reallocation and transport of ions through snowpacks, which can ultimately be used to improve nutrient transport predictions during snowmelt.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 8.11 VARS-TOOL: A Toolbox For Efficient, And Robust Sensitivity And Uncertainty Analysis20 Developed primarily around the “Variogram Analysis of Response Surfaces” framework, VARS-TOOL adopts a multi-method approach that enables simultaneous generation of a range of sensitivity indices, including ones based on derivative, variance, and variogram concepts, from a single sample. The tool accounts for dynamical properties of Earth and environmental systems models and provides various sampling strategies including progressive Latin hypercube sampling. It facilitates handling of high-dimensional models with hundreds of uncertain factors. As a test bed for training and research, VARS-TOOL provides a set of mathematical test functions and the (dynamical) HBV-SASK hydrologic model.

8.12 Effect Of Freeze-Thaw Cycles On Phosphorus Release From Riparian Macrophytes21 Storage and removal of nutrients by wetlands and riparian areas is an important process in understanding catchment nutrient fluxes and in helping to mitigate current issues of eutrophication in many regions. Effects of strong seasonality changes in cold regions raises important questions about how ecosystems can be managed to maximize nutrient retention in the landscape, particularly in light of rapid and ongoing wetland loss. This study assessed how freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) affect the release of phosphorus (P) from common riparian macrophytes (Typha spp). The results of the study demonstrates the potential for FTCs to induce P release from macrophyte tissue, although this is not observed in all cases. The impact of FTCs on P release was greatest and most consistent when samples were collected earlier in the growing season. Therefore, this study suggest that specific management such as harvesting Typha during the growing season, may mitigate the potential for P release due to FTCs.

8.13 The Impact Of Climate Change On The Water Balance Of Oil Sands Reclamation Covers And Natural Soil Profiles22 This paper evaluates the long-term water balances for reclamation covers on two oil sands landforms and three natural coarse-textured forest soil profiles using both historical climate data and future climate projections. Twenty-first century daily precipitation and temperature data from CanESM2 were downscaled based on three representative concentration pathways (RCPs) employing a stochastic weather generator [Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator (LARS-WG)]. The study states that greater increases in actual evapotranspiration (AET) and net

The increases in future NP at the two reclamation covers are larger (as a percentage increase) than at most of the natural sites. Increases in NP will result in greater water yield to surface water and may accelerate the rate at which chemical constituents contained within mine waste are released to downstream receptors, suggesting these potential changes need to be considered in mine closure designs.

8.14 Identifying Transformational Space For Transdisciplinarity: Using Art To Access The Hid- den Third23 A challenge for transdisciplinary sustainability science is learning how to bridge diverse worldviews among collaborators in respectful ways. This study focuses on how we sought to change our own engagement practices to advance sustainability rather than improving scientific techniques. For the study, a team of interdisciplinary scholars and students worked together, to better understand long-term social–ecological change in the engagement of indigenous peoples from three inland delta regions in Canada. They used the concept of Nicolescu’s “Hidden Third” to identify and operationalize this transformative space, because it focused on bridging “objective” and “subjective” worldviews through art.

8.15 Effects Of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Grafting On Stability And Reactivity Of Zerovalent Iron In Water Systems24 Zerovalent iron (ZVI) has been extensively used by researchers for degradation of chlorinated compounds, hydrocarbons and heavy metals and remediation of contaminants in ground and surface water. However, the field-scale application of ZVI is limited due to several reasons. The present study investigated the effects of degree of substitution (DS) and grafting method (pre- grafting or post-grafting) of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on particle size, surface chemistry, colloidal and oxidative stability and reactivity of zerovalent iron (ZVI) particles. In this study, it was found that DS of CMC can regulate the particle size, stability, dispersibility and reactivity of stabilized ZVI particles. CMC stabilized ZVI particles had smaller particle size, higher surface area and high dispersibility as compared to bare ZVI particles. Further, less aggregation was observed in higher DS CMC stabilized ZVI samples compared to lower DS CMC stabilized ZVI samples due to the better shielding ability for van der waals attractive forces. Overall, CMC was found most efficient in colloidal stabilization of ZVI particles both in pre-grafting as well as post-grafting mode.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 8.16 Using Dual Isotopes And A Bayesian Isotope Mixing Model To Evaluate Sources Of Nitrate Of Tai Lake, China25 – Identification and quantification of sources of nitrate (NO3 ) in freshwater lakes provide useful information for management of eutrophication and improving water quality in lakes. In 15 18 – this study dual δ N- and δ O-NO3 isotopes and a Bayesian isotope-mixing model were applied – to identify sources of NO3 and estimate their proportional contributions to concentrations of – NO3 in Tai Lake, China. The SIAR mixing model was parameterized and then used to calculate more accurate contributions of four different sources (i.e., agricultural, industrial, domestic – sewage and rainwater) of NO3 to Tai Lake. Results revealed that proportional contributions of – agriculture were greatest among the four potential source classes of NO3 . The paper is a novel method to assigning sources of nitrogen in water.

8.17 Spatial Distribution Of Dissolved Organic Matter In Ice And At Air–Ice Interfaces26 Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a common solute in snow and ice at Earth's surface. Its effects on reaction kinetics in ice and at air–ice interfaces can be large, but are currently difficult to quantify. This study used Raman microscopy to characterize the surface and bulk of frozen aqueous solutions containing humic acid, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and citric acid at a range of concentrations and temperatures. Our results show that different types of organic matter have different distributions and local concentrations at air–ice interfaces, as well as different effects on the underlying ice surface. Different types of organic matter may therefore have very different effects on reaction rates at air–ice interfaces. These results will improve our understanding of the effects of organic solutes on environmental and atmospheric chemistry within ice and at air– ice interfaces.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 Surface Scheme with both surface and subsurface runoff on slopes and river routing, was used to model the hydrology of the Kluane Lake Basin for these predictions. The results drawn from this study are intended to answer important questions posed by residents surrounding the Kluane Lake, the future of Kluane Lake levels and will further help in water-environment- ecosystem management decision-making process. The hydrological MESH model setup could be the first in the world to simulate successfully alpine glacial melt and lake inflows/levels/outflows using a fine resolution 2x2 km2 and providing full hydrological records in the past century and projections for this century under global warming conditions.

8.19 Taking Stock Of Sustainability In Higher Education28 This paper provides a review of the current literature that examines the uptake of sustainability policies in higher education. Articles were retrieved from both ERIC and Scopus databases and then manually reviewed to ensure that they focused on each of: higher education; sustainability; and policy. Results of the study suggest that drivers and barriers associated with the integration of sustainability policy in higher education are well known; yet increased research is needed to understand best practices and processes by which sustainability can be furthered through higher education policy.

8.20 Potential Indirect Effects Of The Neonicotinoid Insecticide On Ecosystem Metabolism29 Pesticides are important contributors to the global freshwater biodiversity crisis. Among pesticides, neonicotinoids are the best-selling class of agricultural insecticides and are suspected to represent significant risks to freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Several authors have raised concerns about its potential impacts on freshwater ecosystem and this study contributes empirical evidence supporting some of these concerns, as it has documented potential indirect effects of the insecticide on ecosystem metabolism. Moreover, the results of the study highlight that complex interactions with nutrients and sediment may alter the magnitude and direction of the ecological effects of imidacloprid. This observation may have important implications at a global scale, especially given the widespread co-occurrence of these stressors in freshwater ecosystems within agricultural landscapes around the world.

8.23 Temporal Variability Of Water Footprint For Cereal Production (Saskatchewan, Canada)32 The water footprint (WF) of crop production is a user-friendly means to analyze the consumption of water resource in agricultural production systems. This study assessed the interannual variability of grain yield, protein yield, and their corresponding WFs and determined the major factors influencing the WFs in Saskatchewan of Canada. The results of this study indicated that the water resource utilization (which was indicated by grain and protein yield-based WFs) in the rain-fed agriculture of Saskatchewan was more sensitive to the natural factor (such the precipitation) than the manual factors (such as agricultural inputs, scientific and technological progress, and food price index). Under the same protein yield, the protein yield-based WFs tended to be lower in spring wheat than barley. The grain yield-based WFs of cereal crops have large potential for improvement in the future.

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 47 9. Performance Indicators GIWS was created with the vision to undertake world-class research that enables and enhances water security. Since 2011, GIWS has invested to recruit and build partnership with members within USask and several other universities, communities, industries, government and non- government organizations. It recruits and aims at retaining HQP from interdisciplinary background related to water research. These memberships have helped GIWS to develop internationally recognized research facilities with cutting-edge instrumentation, find a niche in water related research, and take on national and international science leadership roles. Over the years, it has attracted and developed substantial additional research funding, leading training programs, recognition of research outcomes through peer reviewed publications, national and international awards and honours, and has expanded collaboration with key stakeholders. GIWS has made remarkable progress and has now established a platform for collaborative interdisciplinary water related research to solve pressing local, regional and global water-related issues. 9.1 Membership A key aim of GIWS is to develop an integrated trans-disciplinary scientific team to meet water security challenges, including interactions among water, food, energy and ecosystem services (i.e., benefits to human welfare), climate change adaptation and mitigation challenges, and the human health agenda. GIWS now integrates expertise from 270 members (94 Members, 61 Associate Members, and 115 Student Members) from 21 academic units across the USask, and has formed strong and mutually supportive working partnerships with Federal and Provincial agencies, in particular Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (SWSA) (Appendix A). 9.2 Support Staff GIWS has grown under a policy of developing a lean and efficient administration, and only making new staff appointments when necessary. However, the number of researchers and the level of research funding and facilities to manage are large, and financial accounting requirements are quite onerous. Therefore, GIWS currently has a Director, Associate Director, GWF Program Director, Assistant Director, Director of Finance, GWF Science Manager, Executive Assistant and Director of Facilities and Human Resources, Financial Officer, Communication Specialist, Knowledge Mobilization Specialist, Outreach Coordinator, Clerical Assistant, Data Manager, Data Support Analyst, Business Development Officer, Strategic Partnership Specialist, and Digital Services Coordinator (Appendix B). 9.3 Highly Qualified Personnel During 2018-19, GIWS core faculty financially supported and supervised 102 graduate students (47 PhD and 55 Masters), 22 postdoctoral fellows and 31 other HQP’s (Appendix B). Other GIWS

Global Institute for Water Security Progress Report July 2018 – June 2019 48 members financially supported and supervised 139 graduate students (54 PhD and 85 Masters), 23 postdoctoral fellows, and 62 other HQP’s (Appendix C). 9.4 Research Funding To support our research and training endeavors, financial resources are critical. Healthy financial resources help attract and retain the ‘best-of-the-best’ from around the world, and help develop innovative research facilities. In 2018-19, GIWS core faculty and members have secured a total of $18.5 million (52% federal sources, 7% provincial, 25% industry, 14% international and 2% from USask sources) (Appendix D). Since March 2011, GIWS has secured a total funding of $282 million (including the CFREF $77.8 million). 9.5 Research Publications In 2018-19, GIWS members have published 364 journal articles, including papers in Science and Nature, published and presented 355 papers in proceedings and at conferences, delivered 130 plenary, key note and invited lectures, and published 17 book chapters and books. Since 2011, GIWS members have published a total of 1873 journal articles and 94 books/book chapters, participated in 1513 conference proceedings and presentations and delivered more than 802 invited, key-note and plenary lectures to share research outcomes and enlighten our stakeholders and scientific community (Appendix E). 9.6 Awards and Honours One of the measurable parameters for research and training excellence is the number of awards and honours received by GIWS members and students. Following the previous years, 2018-19 has been a successful year to recognize that the GIWS executive group, core faculty and other members and students, have received diverse awards and honours. We have achieved significant success in research and training and are targeting to promote and support our members and students in pursuing strategic awards and honours in near future.
