Water is one of our most vital resources, and its management is becoming increasingly complex in the face of climate change, population growth, and competing demands from agriculture, industry, and municipalities. This panel will delve into how geospatial technologies are revolutionizing water policy by providing the data-driven insights needed for smarter decision-making.

Join leading experts from academia, provincial and federal government, and industry as they discuss the integration of GIS, remote sensing, and spatial analytics into water resource management. Learn how these technologies are not only modeling water systems and assessing the impacts of climate change but also directly influencing water conservation, allocation, and risk mitigation strategies.

Key highlights will include:

• Academic breakthroughs in geospatial modeling of water resources and innovative approaches to applying research in real-world policy-making.
• Provincial initiatives from Alberta that showcase how the province is tackling unique water challenges using geospatial data to balance agriculture, energy, and community needs.
• Federal insights on nationwide water management strategies, focusing on the role of geospatial tools in standardizing data and improving emergency response, such as flood mapping.
• Industry innovations in using geospatial technologies for infrastructure planning, predictive analytics, and partnerships that help drive policy development.

Discover the practical applications of these tools through compelling case studies, explore challenges like data integration and accessibility, and glimpse future trends that promise to further revolutionize water policy.

Whether you’re involved in policy, environmental science, or geospatial technology, this panel offers an in-depth look at the intersection of technology and water management, providing a unique opportunity to learn from cross-sector leaders. Don’t miss the chance to engage in a conversation that could shape the future of water policy in Canada and beyond!
