1 Hydrologic Analysis of the Assiniboine River Basin The MFGA Aquanty Project September 26, 2018 Presented by: Travis Juffinger ISM Canada Duncan Morrison Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association

2 Introduction 2 Project Sponsor Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association Project Team ISM Canada, IBM, Aquanty

3 Who is MFGA? 3 MFGA Vision Statement - Vibrant grasslands and prosperous forage crops on Manitoba s agricultural lands MFGA Mission Statement - MFGA works towards and promotes the economic prosperity and environmental benefits of forages, grasslands, cover crops and healthy soils. These healthy and prosperous lands will benefit forage and grassland producers, local communities and society as a whole

4 Who is MFGA? 4 Better understand the MFGA Aquanty Project model & importance of public portal access Understand the project need

5 The Aquanty Model 5 TO MFGA A decision support tool that Looks at the role of forages and grasslands in times of flood or drought in the ARB. KEY ON Water movement & land use

6 Model Ownership 6 The MFGA Aquanty model license is the property of the project proponent MFGA, and the primary funder, AAFC. MFGA will develop a strategy for as many persons/stakeholders to access the model as possible THE ISM Portal is key!

7 Potential Platform Users 7 The MFGA Aquanty model could become a standardized platform for a number of different stakeholders, including: Individual Producers (i.e. family farms) Municipal Organizations (i.e. city council) Provincial Government (i.e. Government of Saskatchewan) Federal Government (i.e. Canadian Governmental Programs)

8 Project Goals 8 1. To quantify the effect of forages (i.e. natural vegetation) on Assiniboine River Basin hydrology 2. Provide decision makers with recommendations that will have the most effective impact

16 Our Challenges! 16 What specific questions can we answer with this model? How do we package and deliver such detailed information to decision makers? How can we present both spatial and non-spatial information together in a single platform?

17 Our Solution! 17 All of these challenges are solved using a customized ESRI platform: ArcGIS Desktop ArcGIS Server Portal for ArcGIS Python Plotly.js Automated data delivery and ETL workflows

22 Hypothetical Dry Dam Placement (Virden) 22 Dry dam at proposed location #2 (Bosshill Creek) Up to 16 m deep Up to 100 m wide Up to 5 km long Bosshill Creek 2 Gopher Creek Seven other locations could be investigated in the future

23 Hypothetical Dry Dam Placement (Virden) 23 Construction of dry dam: Peak flow decreased by 28% * Based on preliminary design

24 The Future Spatial Prediction and Optimization 24 Upcoming steps for taking this platform to the next level: Technical Maintenance Update all ESRI products to , migrate to ArcGIS Pro Improve User Experience Implement new ESRI features, such as Cascade Story maps Highlight Success Stories Changes that were made as a result of this platform, and their effects Integrate additional data sources, such as weather forecasts from IBM s The Weather Company
