    Research Knowledge Initiative Flood Line Mapping Final Workshop Report
    (2025) Centre for Water Resources Studies
    Robust flood line mapping is necessary to inform decisions regarding public infrastructure investments and to support climate resilience. This project built on Nova Scotia’s current flood line mapping guidelines by including locally specific data and using climate projections to support climate resilience across sectors affected by flooding. A primary goal of the project was to identify historical and potential future flooding mechanisms relevant to the diverse watersheds and river systems across Nova Scotia. This was a multi-year collaborative project with a diverse project team including members from Dalhousie and Saint Francis Xavier (St. FX) Universities, engineering consulting firms including CBCL Limited, Dillon Consulting Limited, and the Government of Nova Scotia. Representatives from academia, various levels of government, and the private sector gathered for the flood line mapping project workshop on May 21, 2025. The project leads for academia and the private sector provided presentations summarizing key findings. Breakout sessions were then organized to discuss how the research findings could be used to validate and revise provincial flood mapping guidelines. The primary objectives of the workshop were to disseminate research findings from the project to a variety of stakeholders, and to facilitate focused discussions on potential revisions to provincial flood mapping technical guidelines. This report presents the key findings of the workshop, and areas requiring future work and further investigation.

    WORKSHOP SUMMARY Since the 2018 Atlantic Canadian Cyanobacteria Workshop, we have seen a rapid increase in the number of waterbodies (recreational and drinking water supplies) under public advisories, exposing gaps in local capacity for surveillance, notification, and mitigation. The aim of this workshop was to disseminate local expertise, promote the coordination of research programs between participants, and inform future monitoring strategies and areas of research. The workshop provided a forum for academic, government, and industrial researchers to connect with regulators, operators, and practitioners and share novel findings and on-going research into benthic and planktonic proliferations of cyanobacteria across Atlantic Canada. This report contains key findings from the workshop, challenges related to the complexity of cyanobacteria, and outstanding research questions that should be addressed in future efforts.
