Prairie Water

@CentreForHydro @ecobiogeochem @ZhihuaHe_Hydro @GWF_pubs @DucksUnlimited Research paper recently published by the Prairie Water team! We assess the cumulative loss of ecosystem services (biodiversity, water storage, nutrient retention) from wetland removal in areas which originally had lots of wetlands. Open access! doi.org/10.1139/facets…

Another research paper from our team in Wetlands journal! We investigated which zones of prairie wetlands emit the most greenhouse gases. doi.org/10.1007/s13157… 🌎This research helps to improve estimates of how much prairie wetlands contribute to regional GHG budgets @GWF_pubs

Well water testing in SW Sask! To receive testing - email zon810@usask.ca or cschuster.wallace@usask.ca and complete a 15 minute survey. Call - 306-541-9902 for a list of RMs!

Catch us at the #CWRA2024 conference in Saskatoon for session + workshop! (pls reach out with any questions!) In addition to Prairie Water stuff... lots of interesting sessions in the agenda including from @GWFutures! conference.cwra.org

With support from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), SAW is showcasing a series of climate change adaptation demonstration sites. For the full video, visit - saskwatersheds.ca/ccap/ #SaskWatersheds #SaskProducers #SaskAg #BuildingResiliency #Saskatchewan

TODAY is last call to register for our Annual Partners meeting, taking place May 1-2! Join us at the Alt Hotel in Saskatoon for exciting research summaries and engaging discussions on water in the Canadian Prairies! more info: mailchi.mp/83b56152de9b/r…

Registration is now open for our Final Annual Partners meeting! Taking place in-person on May 1–2 in Saskatoon, Treaty 6 Territory, SK. more info here: mailchi.mp/f8a9e44dfce2/r…]

Come hear an up-to-date overview of Prairie Water outputs! Our project manager is giving a webinar this Thursday, Feb 22 for the @CWRA_Flows Manitoba Branch. Thanks for hosting us! And thx all researchers and partners who make this possible 💧♥️

Happy World Wetlands Day! These areas work hard for us everyday by mitigating flood risk, protecting shorelines from erosion, filtering out toxins and contaminants from water, providing habitat for wildlife, and more. Let's keep working to restore and conserve our wetlands!

Today we join people around the world celebrating Word Wetlands Day! #WWD2024 On the Canadian Prairies, wetlands (ponds/sloughs) support biodiversity and make us more resilient to climate change and extreme weather 💧🦆 Read more: theconversation.com/to-be-resilien… via @ConversationCA

Looking forward to the @MB_Watersheds conference in Brandon next week and learning from folks in Manitoba!! Visit our booth to have a chat about tools for water management in the Canadian Prairies.

Thanks to @ZhihuaHe_Hydro and Kevin Shook for their invaluable work and modelling expertise which made this research possible!

Interested in finding solutions to water management challenges in the Prairies? So are we! Read our recent article highlighting some Prairie Water research and tools in this issue of Water News (pg. 12) cwra.org/resources/wate… @GWFutures @usask_water @CWRA_Flows

At Canada's Farm Show in Regina today. #CFM2023 Happy to hear Cadmus Delorme from @cowessessfn speak on Indigenous involvement in agriculture #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay

How to conduct fieldwork that takes equity, diversity, and inclusion into account? Useful guidance from @GWFutures launched at #GWFfinale harvest.usask.ca/handle/10388/1… @AndreaMRowe @schusterwallace

thanks to everyone who attended our Annual Partners Meeting last week!! we had a great time discussing about water in the prairies @GWFutures @usask_water

Variety is the spice of life! Birds in the Canadian Prairies agree! Birds need wetlands of all shapes and sizes. Food for though when trying to balance land-use. @DUCSask @ducanada @nature_org @MBHabitat @ABWilderness @WSASK @DavidSuzukiFDN @GWFutures

Land and water management are key to prairie resilience. We reviewed the science. Here is what we can say with confidence. See the full paper here: research-groups.usask.ca/hydrology/docu… And read about it on The Conversation: theconversation.com/to-be-resilien… @GWFutures @CBC @WSASK

A two tweet day! We are working on a few ways of communicating our key findings. Here is our Prairie Watershed Classification. Which much of our modelling is founded on, & is key to understanding prairie #ecohydrology. See more at gwf.usask.ca/prairiewater/r…
