Metro Vancouver is examining the impact that climate change will have on our services, including infrastructure (pumps, wastewater treatment plants, etc.) and regional parks. For example, Metro Vancouver and several partners assessed the vulnerability of the region’s sewerage systems to flooding from changes in precipitation, sea level rise and storm events. Metro Vancouver has also produced rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves for the future climate to assist in sewerage and drainage infrastructure planning and design.
