Inter-Provincial Partnership develops Technical Manual to meet information needs of Water Balance Model users



Regional Adaptation Collaborative (RAC) program provides funding for manual users

In November 2009, the British Columbia Inter-Governmental Partnership (BCIGP) and the Alberta Low Impact Development Partnership (ALIDP) jointly released a blueprint document titled Water Balance Model for Canada – The Plan for the Future (i.e. the Plan).

“The Water Balance Model differs from other drainage modelling tools in three fundamental ways: it is web-based; development is driven by the community of users; and it can help create a vision of the future watershed,” states Richard Boase, BCIGP Co-Chair.

“The community of users has been asking for a technical manual that documents the intelligent interface that translates user information into data used by the QUALHYMO engine. Under a federal/provincial agreement with British Columbia, the RAC program has provided funding for manual development.”
