Agricultural water management in a changing climate
November 9, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am PST
What
This free webinar will highlight projects in Delta and Kootenay & Boundary regions that are implementing proactive strategies for increasing agricultural water resilience. Changing precipitation patterns and average temperatures are resulting in hotter and drier summers, increasing the water needed for healthy crops and livestock while reducing the available water supply.
This session is the last in a four-part series by CAI discussing ways climate change is impacting BC farmers and ranchers and sharing resources and research that enable adaptation.
Presentations will include:
- Strategies for improving water conservation on farms — lessons from the Kootenay & Boundary region: Andrew Bennett, Living Lands Agroecology
- Modelling, monitoring and sharing salinity data for agricultural water management in Delta: Leisa Yee, Delta Farmers’ Institute, and Andrew Nadler, Peak HydroMetSolutions
