CANWETTM (v 4.2) is a GIS-based software suite designed to inform decision making around river basin and watershed management; water supply and wastewater treatment infrastructure; food security; and, climate change adaptation. Its ability to quickly estimate daily water balance, nutrient, erosion sediment, and bacteria loadings from GIS input data allows CANWETTM to serve as a powerful decision support system.
This latest release of CANWETTM is VB.Net database-driven and web-aware, and features an integrated open source GIS environment. Its relative ease of use and ability to take advantage of commonly available spatial data makes it a solid choice over other continuous models with greater data input requirements. This "All-In-One" software suite allows you to begin your project without requiring expensive prerequisite software to use in tandem.
Since 2003, CANWETTM has been used for Assimilative Capacity Studies; Watershed and Sub-watershed Studies; Master Drainage Plans; Infrastructure Planning; and, Source Water Protection Studies. Various versions of the GWLF engine that is incorporated into CANWETTM have also been applied in numerous studies worldwide.

CANWETTM (v 4.2) offers an extensive range of features and useful tools including:
CANWETTM allows the user to quickly and easily generate input data through Geographic Information System (GIS) clipping routines. Data is clipped from GIS vector and grid maps. The clipping routines are used to generate input data for single or multiple basin analyses.
The Generalized Watershed Loading Function (GWLF) is a continuous model based on land use categories. It simulates stream flow, sediment, nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorous), and fecal coliform loadings from catchments, given variable-size source areas (i.e. agricultural, natural, and urban/developed lands).
CANWETTM allows for the addition of beneficial management practices (BMPs) by applying area-weighted loading rate reductions for phosphorous, nitrogen, sediment, and animal coliforms for both rural and urban lands. Multiple practices can be added in parallel or in series. It also calculates estimated costs for typical BMP applications based on unit-costing.
CANWETTM features several powerful output approaches to suit your needs.

Landrex
Landrex is currently working with Greenland and business partner, Clearflow Group, to develop strategies to improve the functionality of stormwater management facilities in Landrex's (ie the City's) existing and future communities in North St. Albert, namely within the Erin Ridge North neighbourhood.
Landrex has been impressed with the collaborative and innovative approach that Clearflow and Greenland provide; they are a solutions-based group that are tremendously attentive, responsive and client focused. We believe they would be an extremely valued partner to the City of Saint Albert and represent the qualified, licensed, and professional consulting firm that the City so seeks.

Six Nations Council
On behalf of the Environment Office of the Six Nations of the Grand River, we would like to thank Greenland International Consulting Limited for the work completed to prepare the Master Drainage and Flood Remediation Plan (MDFRP) for the McKenzie Creek watershed. This plan has now enabled our office to identify the flood prone residences throughout the watershed with the flood plain mapping that has been prepared as part of this assignement. We appreciate the role that Greenland has played in assisting our office in directing Public Works with prioritizing the remedial projects to be completed in the flood prone areas.
We also appreciate Greenland's effort in assisting the Six Nations of the Grand River with the preparation of funding applications to secure the resources to complete these remedial works. We are convinced that this MDFRP can be used as a template for completing similar drainage and flood remediation works both locally and in other First Nations lands.
We look forward to working with your company again in the near future on the remaining watersheds that need this important work done.
Thank you for your ongoing assistance.
