| Abstract/Contents: | "A decade ago the City of Calgary Parks business unit began investigating central control systems. That process lead to an evolution in the perception and thinking around irrigation and water. The ensuing paradigm shit [shift], from being irrigation system focused to water management focused, has been validated by recent drought and concerns about future weather trends and water availability. This paper highlights the changes and processes that The City of Calgary underwent, and analyses how these influenced further changes and resulted in cyclical feedback loop. It also demonstrates through examples how other municipalities could undergo a similar process resulting in more effective and efficient use of our finite water resources. Past and current practices will be discussed in relation to how these have positively or negatively affected Calgary Parks move toward efficient and effective water management and the shaping of the new paradigm." |
