| 119528 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 14. Water Security | 14.2a | Please identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk. | 5 | Risk description | 1 | Climate change projections for lower rainfall and higher temperatures during the summer months, combined with a growing population, will result in an increase in summer water use. The regional government is preparing to meet growing demand through encouraging conservation and having secured the Leech watershed area to expand water collection in the future. | |||
| 119529 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 14. Water Security | 14.2a | Please identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk. | 5 | Risk description | 2 | If a forest fire were to occur in our drinking watershed, it would have implications for our water quality. Additionally, higher temperatures and lower precipitation in the summer may result in greater water demand and lower water levels in the reservoir, impacting water quality. Mitigation measures are being put in place. | |||
| 119530 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 14. Water Security | 14.2a | Please identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk. | 5 | Risk description | 3 | The CRD's Regional Water Supply Strategic Plan predicts growing water demand due in part to growing population. Measures are in place to increase water supply through the acquisition of the Leech watershed, and the continuation of demand management initiatives. | |||
| 119531 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 14. Water Security | 14.2a | Please identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk. | 5 | Risk description | 4 | A few streams in the water supply area are susceptible to increases in sediment with the greater intensity, duration, and frequency of major rainfall events associated with climate change projections. Such events could result in limited increases in turbidity in surface water reservoirs, but the size of the reservoirs, and the ability to manage diversions greatly reduce risk. Water diversions from the Leech watershed in the future can be managed to eliminate periods where turbidity occurs. | |||
| 119532 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 14. Water Security | 14.2a | Please identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk. | 5 | Risk description | 5 | Tree mortality due to drought and forest insects and diseases in the forested water supply catchment lands appears to be increasing due to changing climate conditions. While some tree species in the water supply area are vulnerable to increases in summer drought conditions, the dominant tree species - Douglas-fir - appears quite resilient. There are no major insect and disease outbreaks of concern as yet, but over time tree mortality and any spread in introduced invasive shrubs present in the area, will increase forest fuel loadings. Higher amounts of forest fuels, combined with an increase in temperature and evaporation during the summer months, increases the likelihood of wildfire spread if there is an ignition. In response to these threats, forest health is monitored annually, there is a program of forest fuel management in place, and an assessment of the potential for forest management to reduce drought stress and vulnerability to insect species of concern. There is also a well-established and resourced program of wildfire prevention, preparedness, detection, and suppression and plans and materials are in place to minimize the potential for sediment and debris flow issues of a fire occurs. These are an important risk management capabilities as forest health affects watershed hydrology and nutrient cycling and sediment interferes with the current disinfection processes and there is no filtration step in the water treatment process. | |||
| 119533 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 14. Water Security | 14.2a | Please identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk. | 5 | Risk description | 6 | The CRD owns 20,550 hectares of land within the catchment of surface water reservoirs that supply Greater Victoria – approximately 98% of existing water supply catchment lands and 92% of the catchment of future water supply lands. These lands are managed by the CRD to protect water quality and supply and other important regional ecosystem services. There is increasing forestry, recreation, and rural residential development on lands adjacent to the water supply area in recent years, and an assessment of the potential to develop a highway corridor through the water supply area and/or an adjacent regional park. The primary threat related to climate change is the potential for fire ignitions and wildfire spread that could affect the water supply catchment lands and measures are in place to protect against this. The Capital Regional District Board is in opposition to the development of highway infrastructure in or near the water supply lands and the Drinking Water Protection Zone in the adjacent regional park. | |||
| 119534 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 14. Water Security | 14.2a | Please identify the risks to your city’s water security as well as the timescale and level of risk. | 5 | Risk description | 7 | Warming temperatures and increased run off in a changing climate could lead to algal blooms, higher levels of bacterial activity, and a potential increase in the current very low levels of naturally-occurring disease-causing organisms (such as Giardia) in water supply reservoirs. Algal blooms can cause taste and odour issues and interfere with disinfection. The low levels of bacterial activity and disease-causing organisms in the reservoirs at present are able to be deactivated by existing water disinfection processes – ultraviolet light, chlorine, and ammonia. It is unlikely that these organisms would increase beyond the capability of the disinfection system. The nutrient poor status and large volume of water in supply reservoirs will greatly buffer any effects of climate change. There is regular testing and monitoring in place to ensure a safe drinking water supply and detect any changes that would require an adjustment to processes. | |||
