Impact of climate change on irrigation of Saskatchewan

Project Member

October 2020 - April 2021

The project explores the feasibility of future irrigation projects in Saskatchewan affected by

climate-change-induced water availability variations. Specifically, stepwise regression is used to

construct the statistical relationship between climate variables and the streamflow. The

developed statistical model is applied to data from global climate models to generate future

streamflow projections under various emission scenarios. The trend and the statistical

significance of future streamflow will then be estimated using the Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s

slope.
