File:Screenshot 2025-09-05 154920.png|As municipalities grapple with these new climate realities, they are rethinking how to manage stormwater. The Island Lake Reservoir, located near Orangeville, experienced low water levels after a prolonged drought. This was problematic for both the lake ecosystem and for the downstream WWTP which relies on reservoir discharges to dilute treated effluent (Tu et al., 2017)<ref>Tu, C., Milner, G., Lawrie, D., Shrestha, N., Hazen, S. 2017.
