Conclusions • There are significant industry gaps in understanding: • Past extreme rainfall trends (decreasing in southern Ontario) • Key quantifiable drivers for flood risk reduction weather vs. hydrology change weather vs. hydraulics constraints (overland design) • System vulnerability varies with design standards: • Post 1990 standards significantly decreased flood risk to 1/60th of pre-1980’s standards risks. • Historical land use practices with limited design standards drive specific, local adaptation priorities (no generic fixes). • “Design Standard Adaptation” adds resiliency • Addressing older system limitations provides future climate adaptation co-benefit … regardless of future rainfall IDF (uncertain & not converging). • Highest incremental benefits for infrastructure improvements to older systems – marginal benefits decrease at higher levels.49

Notas del editor
- Thank you for sticking around for the last presentation – good things come to those who wait. Hopefully a fresh persepctive.
- Crystal ball or rear view mirror. What do you really need for extreme weather adaptation? Is knowing future extreme weather patterns essential to guide where and how much to adapt – what we do with infrastructure - or can we look back to see the risks factors to address?
- Make a wish. If you had a Weather Zoltar arcade machine to predict future intensity duration IDF statistics. Put in a quarter, and our comes future IDF. If you had such as machine, does its output make a Big difference in how your city should adaptation? Some cities have put a quarter – of a million dollars - into similar machines.
- If we look to the past, we see we have always had extreme events and flooding. Engineers can’t predict the details but that doesn’t stop them in their everyday quests. Like getting to the beer store. Or upgrading infrastructure.
- Is predicting future weather even a priority? Lets say to address catastrophes like the flooded GO Train in 2013. Or could we manage some existing risks by critically understanding operational risks with today’s weather. Sometimes history is just repeating itself and weather is not the key. The GO Train has been flooding right after the Richmond Hill line started in the late 1970’s.
- Toronto Island Flooding, is that a new normal? Or and old extreme? To answer this, we really have to look at data instead of just exercising our availability biases. Anyone remember the flood of 1973?
- Or the flood of 52 or 47 ? Probably not – I see a crowd of young good looking people. For you folks, data shows 2017 – while above average - was just centimeters above previous extremes. Make you wonder why evictions from this known hazard zone were stalled in the 80’s.
- Do roadways and basements flood due to climate change factors ? That is Windsor in Are effective CSO controls keeping too much wet weather flow in the pipes for extreme events, is the 100 year floodplain level of service enough Essex County?
- What have we had more of recently – climate change or hydrology change. This shows the Newtonbrook area in North York It developed through the 40s 50s and 60s and upstream in Vaughan through the 80’s – so parts of our cities have not really been subject to full hydrology runoff stresses until recently – this area was flooding by the 80’s.

- And some systems are designed to flood occasionally because of lack of overland flow path. We only started that in the late 1970’s. So we have inherited systems with ‘Lost Rivers’ and overland flow risks. This maps shows the overland flow spread areas, and reported flooding. One keen insurance company found 3 time the claims in 2013 in overland flow zones.

- And we have more than doubled the hard surfaces in our subdivisions. That drives higher flood risks in our watersheds. Intensification has doubled impervious due to infills in one Markham neighbourhood since the 50’s – Bayview Glen.
- And urbanization change has occurred at a considerable, measurable pace with almost 1000% more urban are in the Rouge Watershed from the mid 60’s to the 1999 – other areas that have experience significant flooding in the GTA has experienced the same.

- So this pink urban splat .. looks like Cat in the Hat. And I don’t think we’ll get old hydrology back. Given known design limitations and hydrology stresses
- Given known design limitations and hydrology stresses ….
- Or critically assess local data for trends. These annual maximum rain trends in Toronto are from Environment Canada’s Engineering Climate Dataset. Toronto long term trends are down.
- But Rob! What about 2005 and 2013 .. those storms were extreme. We lost Finch. I lost my Ferrari !!!
- 2013 had a record for July 8ths definitely – but we do not design infrastructure for particular calendar days. Check out the data on my blog at the first link. And at the second link I breakdown how the media takes short cuts when reporting on extremes.
- But Rob! The insurance Bureau of Canada says 40 year storms are happening every 6 years. Telling the weather story says this is happening in some part of Canada.
- Actually not a fact at all – this 40 to 6 year frequency shift was based on an arbitrary 1 standard deviation shift in a standard normal bell curve as presented at the Empire Club of Canada by the author. I am bound by confidentiality on 3 files settled through advertising standards Canada using this inaccutate fact in advertising – so don’t ask me any questions on the advertising. But lets look at the data I shared.
- An I need to test you to see if you can tell the difference between infographics and data. Which one of these is data. OK lets look at that good stuff for southern Ontario.
- Southern Ontario extreme rain trends are decreasing. What would make me say such as silly thing. Answer- The Engineering Climate Datasets. More significant decreases than increases and more statistically significant decreases. Follow the links. Get the data of check out the review on my blog.
- As observed rainfall decreases so do extreme value statistics – IDF curve intensities. This is the Toronto Bloor Street trend – look at the bottom row, the 100 year rain intensity, its down over 5% since I graduated.
- Mississauga IDF intensities down too even considering 2013.
- This is repeated in countless studies from the University of Waterloo, University of Guelph, professional studies for cities.
- And Canada-wide – in the rear view
- Has rainfall increased with temperatures? No research has shown sometimes the opposite – so when someone says 1 decrees Celsius equals 7% more water vapour so we must get more rain, they are referring to the Clausius-Claperon equation – and obervations show this has not happened. So fundamentally it makes sense that we may not see rain changes like temperatures changes.
- What and where do we need to adapt for tomorrow’s expected extremes? … same as for “design standard adaptation” for yesterday’s and today’s extremes. I’ll show you the Markham example.
- Based on spatial analysis of flood reports from 2000, 2005 and 2013 in Toronto. This adaptation is needed most in partially separated sewer service areas with no CSO relief.
- So in Markham in 2005 most flooding was in old areas – pre 1980’s areas with limited design standards - so we are doing the most cost effective adaptation measures first. Downspout disconnection. And storm capacity upgrades. We are also starting a backwater valve program and looking at sanitary capacity upgrades because we cannot control all the I&I.
- And this summers storms confirmed our priorities. New subdivisions post 1990’s are resilient already. I also presented the future resiliency of storm and sanitary sewer systems at CWWA last week.
- If we use a different hyetograph, like Toronto’s May 200 storm or Ottawa’s 2004 100 year storm we would have about half the surcharge percentage.
- This shows the Markham 100 year design storm and the conservation authority 100 year floodline mapping storm – there is a big difference, and one is more conservative for flashy urban systems.
- What and where do we need to adapt for tomorrow’s expected extremes? … same as for “design standard adaptation” for yesterday’s and today’s extremes. I’ll show you the Markham example.
- Although local trends are downs we do look at future climate IDF to stress test sewer systems. Its easy pick the starting point, pick the future climate scenario and stress test any system that is designed below the future standard. We are doing this in Markham.
- Although local trends are downs we do look at future climate IDF to stress test sewer systems. Its easy pick the starting point, pick the future climate scenario and stress test any system that is designed below the future standard. We are doing this in Markham.
- But it is not that easy – there is no simple future scenario and they all diverge up and down even. But it doesn’t matter – back to the question of adaptation. And lets scale this chart to show the old standards.
- This shows todays standard and a range of possibilities. We have tested that new systems can handle a 20-30 % increase in IDF if we use inlet controls and modern standards. But some old systems were designed down here. @ year sewers and no overland flow path – it is a no brainer that we will achieve significant risk reduction by increasing the standards in those areas even to todays rain intensities – and the greatest marginal return on investment will be on in the most deficient areas. There will also be diminishing relative marginal returns above that. Most cities have decades of this basic design capacity adaptation to do to bring up old system to todays standards.
