BeSpatial Northern Webinar -  Source Water Protection Program

Many conservation authorities core business is flood reduction, and up until the mid 2000’s  Conservation Authorities, for the most part,  were reliant on out dated data and  hard copy mapping from the Ministry of Natural Resources or municipalities. The implementation of the Source Water Protection Program, a capacity building project  for the conservation authorities, increased the analytical capacity  for  flood reduction and warning. Join Marlene McKinnon to explore how software, hardware and stakeholder expectations are driving change in flood reduction analysis.
