4 Hardware vs Software AT&T (c. 2007) had exclusive iphone contract and committed to unlimited data supply Experienced % increase in bandwidth demand in 3 years Expanding conventional infrastructure was not an option Revolutionary software innovation allowed AT&T to meet demand with conventional infrastructure network

30 Agricultural Water Management: Lessons from 2011
31 Hypothesis: Agriculture is not at the table on Green Infrastructure dangerous omission as agriculture lies at the heart of a large class of climate solutions
32 The solution: US example North Ottawa project Project Benefits: Flood Damage Reduction (Primary objective): Provides 16,000 acre feet of gatecontrolled storage which is equivalent to 75% of the estimated 100 year spring runoff. This is expected to reduce peak flows on the Bois de Sioux River at Wahpeton/Breckenridge by about 5%. Downstream Flow Augmentation: Release of about 5 cfs flow during the ice free season in most years. Water Quality: Improvement via sedimentation and nutrient uptake by wetland plants Habitat Enhancement: Feeding and resting areas for migrating waterfowl and shorebirds and stream flow maintenance for downstream fish habitat.
33 The solution: MB example
34 Stacked Benefits of Surface Water Retention: Not just for flood management GHG emissions reduction Biomass harvest Habitat/Biodiversity Phosphorus capture Flood control Water Recharge Pelly s Lake water retention site - near Holland, Manitoba
35 Pelly s Lake Fall 2015 Cattail Harvesting Dries up in the fall (September) - suitable conditions for harvesting with conventional agricultural equipment
36 Reduction in GHG emissions Cumulative greenhouse gas flux (CO2 + CH4 + N20, expressed as CO2 equivalents; mean +/- SE) for harvested and non-harvested cattail plots in the Pelly s Lake retention area
37 The big picture Boutique projects are necessary but insufficient Finance, Treasury, Feds can not deal with the granularity of high-performance adaptation projects Structural adaptation means aggregation and bundling for green bond issues. High performance computational platform for benefit aggregation, economic performance, visualization (and institutional gap analysis)
38 Precision Infrastructure Designing Advanced and Resilient Infrastructure: Big Spatial Data CyberGIS
39 Global Motivation: Agriculture as crucial climate solution space
40 Global Motivation need to invest heavily in resilient infrastructure
41 Aggregation and Systems Design: Re-mosaicking the landscape Key parameters: Retention area = 4750 km2 = 1840 sections = 3.4% of ag land base Storage 1m depth = 4.75 Gm3 = 3.85 M ac-ft = 80.6% of 2011 flood Biomass / 8t/ha = 3.8 Mt biomass = 3.8 kt phosphorus (100% of Lk Winnipeg policy target)
42 Aggregating Costs and Benefits (direct monetization and engineering substitution costs) $1000/acre-foot + $400/acre + 50% contingency = $6.3 Billion Co-Benefit Stack 10% of $500 acre-ft = $192 Million/year Biomass $30/t = $114 M/year GHG emissions reduction Fuel $30/t CO2e = $114 M/year $30/t 10t/ha = $142 M/year Water $50/kg P = $190 Million/year Flood Risk Reduction [omitted] Drought Resiliency [omitted] Habitat [omitted] Co-Benefit Stack Total = $753 M/year
43 Blunt Force Investment Analysis 50 years Cash Flow $2,000,000,000 $1,000,000,000 $0 -$1,000,000, $2,000,000,000 -$3,000,000,000 -$4,000,000,000 -$5,000,000,000 -$6,000,000,000 -$7,000,000,000 IRR = 12.2% 3% = $12.75B net Benefit-Cost Ratio = 2.04
44 Motivation the $64 trillion dollar question (actually $90T) Recent climate-aligned bonds in Canada:
45 The enablers (technical) LiDAR for proper geospatial and hydrodynamic modelling (technical) Hydro-climatic modelling (ECCC-MESH model) (technical) High performance computational platform for benefit aggregation, economic performance, watershed visualization (policy) hard commitment to climate leadership/green economy/cleantech and green value chain development (policy) institutional flexibility on carbon/water quality/biodiversity offsetting (policy) investment aggregation/leveraging: green infrastructure/p3 (policy) institutional and governance innovation
46 Case Study: Virden, MB Harvesting Technology Equipment R&D and Enterprise Logistics Landscape/ Watershed Design Downstream Processing Green Infrastructure design/bond primarily resilience benefits Biorefinery systems design Green Infrastructure design/bond resilience + GHG mitigation benefits
47 The Prize: Deep Innovation Deep Driver for Economic Development and Growth Climate Resilience International Leadership in Precision Infrastructure design, implementation and management A new class of cyberinfrastructure technology crucial to climate resilience, water and food security: Biorefining Biomaterials Systems Design and Logistics Geospatial Analytics Smart Hydrology and Hydraulics Ecosystem Modeling and Visualization Low-impact Agricultural Harvesting
