appropriate emergency response plans to reduce impacts (e.g., downtime) on theservice.9. Risk management is critical to maintaining the performance of infrastructure in light ofthe uncertainty in future climate. Risk management tools should be included in CSRI.10. There is a need to share CSRI that include climate change planning developed at localor regional levels within the broad engineering community. This should also includeacademia.Finally, adaptive management was considered by the EWG as a valuable tool to deal with theuncertainty of future infrastructure performance due to changing climate conditions. Adaptivemanagement can be defined as 4 (also see Adaptive Management for Water ResourcesPlanning 5 )“The goal of adaptive management is to learn from experience and constantly improveland development and stormwater management practices over time. This requiresongoing monitoring of demonstration projects to assess progress towards performancetargets and the shared watershed vision.”This concept is illustrated in Figure 2 below.4 A Guidebook for British Columbia Stormwater Planning, British Columbia Ministry of Water, land and AirProtection, 2002, accessed athttp://www.env.gov.bc.ca/epd/epdpa/mpp/stormwater/guidebook/pdfs/stormwater.pdf5 Adaptive Management for Water Resources Planning, Panel for Adaptive Management for ResourcesStewardship, US National Research Council of the National Academies, 2004, accessed athttp://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=10972&page=R1FINAL REPORT Page 15 of 22PIEVC CSRI Water Review
Adaptive management however requires a commitment from the agency (owner or operator ofthe infrastructure) to monitoring the performance of the infrastructure. Funding for thismonitoring commitment may be difficult to institutionalize.FINAL REPORT Page 16 of 22PIEVC CSRI Water Review
