CBCL Consulting Ltd.
www.cbcl.ca
CBCL has recently completed a Federal project for
analysis of new agricultural irrigation sources for two watersheds
in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley. A section of this report addresses
the many impacts of future climate change on agriculture in the
Valley, and recommends adaptations that can help mitigate these
impacts.
The company is in the process of evaluating the
City of Fredericton, New Brunswick's environmental planning policies,
which includes analysis of climate change adaptations. CBCL's
recommendations will be used to update the City's Municipal Plan,
Future Land Use Map, and Zoning By-law. (The City of Fredericton
has already written a report on climate change mitigation).
The firm is in the process of writing a Watershed
Management Plan for the James River Watershed, which supplies
the Town of Antigonish with drinking water. Climate change adaptation
will be part of this analysis, and will be considered in calculating
ranges of potential climate change impacts on surface water runoff
and groundwater recharge "budgets". The water "budget"
in turn, affects the water quantity and quality available for
recharge of this public water supply reservoir.

CEF Consultants Ltd.

Issues of CC environmental affects on a project
are becoming increasingly important. Consequently, CEF is building
