Branch and Affiliate Events

Alberta Branch
Coast Edmonton Plaza Hotel
Edmonton, Alberta
March 28 - 30, 2010
CWRA is partnering with the Alberta Water Research Institute and the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance to develop a program that will showcase current research and science related to water and watersheds in Alberta. There will be a particular focus on issues in and around the North Saskatchewan River Basin. However other work showcasing innovation in water related science and management in Alberta will be included in the program. The program is being structured around specific water management issues in Alberta. Speakers will present work that has been or is currently being done to address each issue, directly or indirectly, and this will be followed by a discussion of each issue and related research for the purposes of identifying “What else do we need to know?”

Quebec Branch
Montréal, Québec
Jeudi 6 mai 2010
Les courbes Intensité-Durée-Fréquence (IDF) sont un outil de premier ordre pour quiconque œuvre dans le domaine de la conception ou de la gestion d'ouvrages hydrauliques. Plusieurs intervenants jugent essentielle une mise à jour de ces courbes, dont certaines datent du début des années 1990, d'autant plus que plusieurs événements majeurs sont survenus depuis leur dernière publication.

Afin de répondre à ces questions et de faire le point sur la situation, la section québécoise de l'ACRH est heureuse d'organiser un colloque ayant pour thème les courbes IDF et la caractérisation des événements de pluies intenses dans une optique de gestion et de conception d'ouvrages de contrôle et de systèmes de drainage.

Intensity-Duration-Frequency curves (IDF) are an essential tool for water professionals who design or manage drainage systems and related hydraulic structures. Most stakeholders agree that these curves require to be updated in the wake of the numerous extreme events that have occurred in recent years and with the expected climate evolution.

In order to answer some of these questions and to provide insight in the state of the art, the Québec Branch of the CWRA has decided to organize a workshop on IDF curves and the characterization of important rain events, with a view to improve the design and management of drainage systems and their associated water works.
