The Assistant for Understanding Data through Reasoning, Extraction, and sYnthesis (AUDREY) uses innovative reasoning systems and artificial general intelligence (AGI) technologies to perform data fusion and provide situational awareness information for first responders. DHS S&T and Defence Research and Development Canada’s (DRDC) Centre for Security Science (CSS) collaborated to conduct a field experiment applying AUDREY to a series of operational use cases in June 2019. The AUDREY Hastings Experiment (AHE) was held in Hastings County, Ontario (ON), with the Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Service (HQPS) acting as the principal participating paramedic response agency. The experiment tested the potential for AUDREY to improve patient outcomes by supporting assessment and treatment during medical calls.

CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.

Canadian Field-Naturalist 129(2): 174–180. the lycophyte Northern Quillwort ( Isoetes septentrionalis D. F. Brunton, sp. nov. ) is the northern component of the riverbank Quillwort ( I. riparia ) complex. it is locally abundant in southeastern Ontario and southwestern Quebec and is also widely dis - tributed in the northeastern united States. in Canada, it is largely confined to river and lake shores along post-glacial drainage outlets within the limits of the post-glacial Champlain Sea. it is frequently found in association with other Isoetes , especially Dodge’s Quillwort ( I. × dodgei a. a. eaton), its sterile hybrid with Spiny-spored Quillwort ( I. echinospora Durieu). the Canadian population of I. septentrionalis appears to be stable. although first proposed at species level over a century ago, the nomenclature of this taxon has remained unresolved. it is clarified in the present study, in which I. canadensis var. robbinsii is lectotypified.

  • Quinte Region Water Budget, and to Initiate Discussions About Drought Management Plans
    1 | P a g e Summary Planning for drought in Ontario has become of increasing concern due to the recurrence of droughts, increased development pressure, and anticipated impacts from climate change. Previous work by Quinte Conservation has identified the region to be vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Some of this vulnerability can be attributed to the high percentage of Quinte Region residents (50 percent of the population) that rely on private wells for water supply. These wells are supplied by a shallow fractured bedrock aquifer with low storage capacity requiring regular replenishment from precipitation to maintain adequate levels of supply. In 2016, a widespread historic drought was experienced in the Quinte Conservation watershed and across Eastern Ontario. During this event, groundwater levels and wells experienced historically low levels with many residents’ wells running dry. Farmers struggled to find alternative supplies to sustain crops and livestock, rural fire protection sources dried up, and low river levels resulted in damaged fish habitat. Municipalities that rely 100 percent on private wells had difficulty obtaining alternative sources of water for their residents. Learning from the 2016 experience, Quinte Conservation recognized the need to develop a drought management plan that would help local municipalities mitigate and adapt to drought. With the support of municipalities within its watershed, Quinte Conservation obtained funding through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). This funding has been used to improve monitoring to deal with drought, assess the potential impacts of climate change, and prepare the following as a drought management plan. This plan provides an overview of the background information about the Quinte watershed and past impacts from drought.
