Description: The new climate change vulnerability assessment tool provides a practical and consistent approach to assess local climate change impacts, to determine vulnerability of drinking water systems to climate change, and to highlight areas where actions may be needed to further protect source water quality across Ontario. The semi-quantitative tool uses widely established vulnerability assessment methods to assess climate change exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity and vulnerability of a drinking water system’s source water quality, based on information at both a watershed or sub-watershed scale and also at the drinking water system scale.
