International Watersheds Initiative Projects

This project will result in detailed vegetation community data referenced to elevation and seasonal water levels in 16 Lake Ontario coastal wetlands.

The Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River Adaptive Management Committee is continuing in the development of its long-term strategy to ensure a full review of the regulation plans in the 15 year review period specified in the updated Orders of Approval.

The project aims to obtain information about impacts of high water levels and flows along the Canadian shore of Lake Ontario and the upper St. Lawrence River upstream of the Moses-Saunders dam at Cornwall, ON.

This project is a continuation of ongoing GLAM efforts to collect data to support model validation and will result in detailed vegetation community data referenced to elevation and seasonal water levels in 16 Lake Ontario coastal wetlands.

Winter operations of the Moses-Saunders Dam (St. Lawrence River) in accordance with direction from the IJC’s International Lake Ontario – St. Lawrence River Board (ILOSLRB) have historically resulted in a large drawdown in water levels on Lake St.

This is a continuation of ongoing GLAM efforts to collect data to support model validation.

High water levels throughout the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River system in 2017 impacted several shoreline communities, stakeholders and businesses.

The Canadian Precipitation Analysis (CaPA) is an operational near real-time gridded precipitation product from Environment Canada available since April 2011 for North America.

This project is a continuation of ongoing GLAM efforts to collect data to support model validation and will result in detailed vegetation community data referenced to elevation and seasonal water levels in 16 Lake Ontario coastal wetlands.
