3 Research Problem Increased rainwater runoff from urbanization + Higher intensity rainfall from climate change = INCREASED RISK OF FLOODING

4 Case Study: Bowker Creek Watershed Downtown Victoria 1018 ha. watershed 7.9 km long channel 37% open channel Watershed is 50% impervious Soils are predominately clay with some rock outcroppings Total average annual precipitation is 608mm

5 1a. FUTURE IMPACTS: RAINFALL Key research challenge: Generating future scenarios for shortduration extreme rainfall. Method: Step 1) Use Global Climate Models to generate monthly precipitation changes Step 2) Use regression equations to calculate relationship between monthly rainfall volume and short-duration rainfall intensity Step 3) Adjust the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) Curve used for hydrologic modeling (Holm and Weatherly, 2010)

6 Future climate projections generated using an ensemble of 15 Global Climate Models. Parameters: Timeframe: 2050s ( ) Emissions scenario: A2 Time of year: Result: Future Rainfall Nov, Dec & Jan (three wettest months) % change in monthly rainfall volume Median 75th percentile Nov 10% 20% Dec 6% 14% January 4% 11% Average 7% 15%

7 Future Rainfall Scenarios Two future rainfall scenarios developed based on November projections Scenario 1 = median projection Scenario 2 = 75 th percentile projection % change month % change 24-hour event Rainfall 24-hour 25-year (mm) Historic 88.8 Scenario 1 10% 5.4% 93.6 Scenario 2 20% 10.8% 98.4 The Master Drainage Plan increased 25-year event by 20%. The District of Saanich s Climate Change Adaptation Plan estimates a winter precipitation increase (mm/day) of 5% for the 2050s and 11% for 2080s.

8 Future Land Use Impervious Area Assessment: Each of the 21 subcatchments were assessed for future land use changes and associated increase in impervious area. Assumes no mitigation measures Existing impervious area: 50% 2050s impervious area: 59%

9 1b. HYDROLOGY Hydrologic model created with XP-SWMM Widely used software best suited for accurate prediction of flow rates from smaller urban catchments Builds on model developed for Master Drainage Plan (KWL, 2007)

10 Precipitation Intensity (mm/hr) Hydrologic Model Hydrologic response generated using a single event-based approach Focus on the local level of service: 24-hour 25-year event Used Soil Conservation Service Type 1A synthetic design storm s Scenario 2 Historic Climate :00 2:00 1:00 0:00 7:00 6:00 5:00 4:00 11:00 10:00 9:00 8:00 Time (hh:mm) 15:00 14:00 13:00 12:00 23:00 22:00 21:00 20:00 19:00 18:00 17:00 16:00 SCS Type 1A hyetograph for the 24-hour 25-year rainfall event showing precipitation intensity for the historic and future climate scenario 2. 24:00

11 Precipitation Intensity (mm/hr) Synthetic vs. Real Storms The SCS Type 1A synthetic design storm has a narrow peak that may overestimate flows compared to the distribution of some storm events. For example: December 11/12, 2010 rainfall event Estimated 10-year return period Flat rainfall distribution compared to design storm 20 Dec 11/ SCS Type 1A :00 14:00 15:00 16:00 17:00 18:00 19:00 20:00 21:00 22:00 23:00 0:00 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 1:00 Time (hh:mm)

22 Potential Solution: Low Impact Development What is it? LID relies on runoff management measures that seek to control rainwater at the source by retaining and infiltrating rainwater. Key Principles Minimize the creation of impervious surfaces Manage rainwater as close to its origin as possible Use source controls to manage rainwater runoff LID is not promoted for flood control of major storm events. But can it help? 2. ADAPTATION

23 Research Project Can LID mitigate the increase in flood risk posed by climate change? LID mitigation objective Q 25-yr (FUTURE) Q 25-yr (HISTORIC) How much LID is needed? What types are best? Effective under what future climate scenarios? Expected Changes in Extreme Event Frequency Curves (Arisz and Burrell, 2006)

31 Locating Potential Sites for Green Roofs Methods: % of watershed 1. Use LiDAR to delineate rooftops into GIS polygons Select roof areas 300m Slope Analysis: Identify roof areas with slopes <3% 2.6

32 Green Roof Analysis: Area Hillside Mall Oak Bay Rec Centre

33 Green Roof Analysis: Area Hillside Mall Roof areas >300m 2 Oak Bay Rec Centre

34 Green Roof Analysis: Slope Slope > 3% 3% Roof areas >300m 2

35 Green Roof Specifications: Max Applicable Area: 2.6% Growing medium depth: 150mm Infiltration rate: 50mm/hr Max Water Storage Capacity : 45mm Drainage layer with underdrain

36 2c. ENHANCED TOP SOIL An absorbent topsoil layer reduces peak flows as it serves as a sponge when it is raining. Improving or adding an amended topsoil layer to a site is one of the simplest and easiest source controls to implement. Source: Green Infrastructure Partnership, 2010

37 Enhanced Top Soil Enhanced tops soils reduce runoff by increasing infiltration rates Current Soils Enhanced Soils Infiltration Rate by Soil Group/ Texture Infiltration Rate by Compaction/Moisture

38 Locating Sites for Enhanced Top Soil Methods: 1. Use GIS to remove all impervious surfaces, bedrock outcrops, etc 2. Slope Analysis: Identify pervious areas with slopes <2% 3. Manual analysis of orthophotographs Specifications: Maximum applicable area: 5.4% Amended top soil depth: Infiltration rate: Max water storage capacity: 400mm 20mm/hr 80mm

49 Runoff (mm/hr) Rain Garden Design Storm Rain gardens often sized for volume control or water quality objectives (i.e. not flood control). For example: 6-month return period (35mm) 2-year return period (48mm) If adaptation is the objective, then may want to design for 2-year event Rainfall Intensity (mm/hr) 2-year design 6-month design Rainfall :00 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 Time 8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00

50 Watershed Scale 4. IMPLICATIONS Land-use results in more prominent flow changes in smaller scale watersheds. LID more effective in smaller urban watersheds ( 10km 2 ) Bowker Creek Impact of land use and climate variability on hydrological response as a function of scale (Bloschl et al., 2007).

51 Implications: Bylaws Municipalities are already adopting bylaws that require onsite rainwater management (e.g. using LID techniques). For example: In light of climate change, Local Governments may want to further advance the implementation of onsite rainwater management. Tools such as the Water Balance Model can support bylaw requirements. WBM has a new climate change module that allows users to model and mitigate future impacts.

52 Implications: Provincial Goals Provincial goals, policies and programs are increasing the level of support for low impact practices and climate action. Example: Living Water Smart - BC s Water Plan Adapting to climate change and reducing our impact on the environment will be a condition for receiving provincial infrastructure funding. Incorporating LID can help communities become more resilient to climate change and ensure eligibility for senior government funding.

53 Implications: Asset Management An Asset Management Program identifies the useful life of infrastructure and establishes longer term maintenance and financing for renewal and replacement. The time for renewal of drainage infrastructure can coincide with necessary upgrades to address climate change. LID can be used as a strategy to help maintain the current level of service until necessary upgrades can be made (may be 50+ years away)

54 Preliminary cost estimate: Green Roof Implications: Costs Low Med High incremental cost per m 2 $100 $200 $300 $26,468,000 $52,936,000 $79,404,000 Rain Garden cost per m 2 $150 $300 $450 $19,392,900 $38,785,800 $58,178,700 Enhanced Top Soil cost per m 3 $10 $25 $40 $2,198,880 $5,497,200 $8,795,520 Master Drainage Plan Class D cost estimate for upgrades range from $22m to $46m (2007 dollars). The MDP addresses all flooding, not just climate change.

55 Summary 1. The model indicates that climate change is projected to increase flood extent by 21% to 50% for the 24-hour 25-year event. 2. The unmitigated increase in impervious surfaces poses similar flood impacts as the median climate projection. 3. Green roofs: Minimal mitigation benefit for all modeled events. 4. Rain Gardens: Mitigation benefits up to ~25-year return period. 5. Enhanced Top Soil: Main mitigation benefits occur during large rainfall events. 6. All LID can mitigate a 9% increase in rainfall for the 24-hour 25-year event. 7. LID provides multiple benefits beyond flood control (e.g. water quality improvements)

56 Conclusion LID provides an incremental and flexible approach for climate change adaptation. LID reduces flooding (with or without climate change). Relatively extensive use of rain gardens and top soil amendments are required to mitigate the full impact of climate change. Onsite rainwater management should be considered in adaptation planning. Modeling results indicate that in the Bowker Creek watershed, LID can help reduce the adverse impacts of climate change.
