Thie project is GIS exercise which identifies areas of relative high-risk within a subwatershed for sediment delivery to water bodies. Uses stream power index and soil erodibility in rural areas, and event mean concentrations and stormwater management features in urban areas. Contact amanjot.singh(at)cvc.ca

===[https://mnai.ca/ Natural assets project]===

The Municipal Natural Assets Initiative (MNAI) pilot project for the Region of Peel quantifies the level of stormwater services (flood control and water quality control) provided by natural assets such as wetlands, forests  and open green spaces, and the value of such services under existing climate and with climate change. The valuation is intended to assist municipalities in accounting for natural assets in municipal asset management framework. The study was completed for two subwatersheds within CVC’s jurisdiction of Peel, and is being expanded to include all of credit river watershed and the entire Region of Peel.

The IWM tool can be used to model and determine GI types, sizing and intensity of application at a site/ neighbourhood level to meet SWM criteria while considering the cost and co-benefits of the design. This tool can be used to determine GI opportunities on priority sites identified by the Risk and Return on Investment Tool.

The Soil Risk Assessment (SRA) Tool has been created to predict average annual soil loss from areas which have implemented a variety of ESC measures. The SRA tool can be used to assess the efficiency of ESCs on construction sites and to determine areas of high erosion risk.

===Wetland water balance module: Visual Otthymo 5===

Civica has developed the Wetland Water Balance module for VO5 to help modelers complete a feature-based water balance analysis, as may be required to satisfy TRCA's SWM Criteria Document criteria for "water balance for protection of natural features" (Appendix D). The module simulates wetland storage dynamics (hydroperiod) and their response to changes in the catchment parameters relative to a baseline, pre-development condition.
