An Application of the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) Methodology to Pelly's Lake and Stephenfield Reservoir, Manitoba, Canada

The document describes a Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) assessment of two sites in Manitoba: the civil engineered Stephenfield Reservoir and the natural wetland Pelly's Lake. It aims to quantify the financial value of ecosystem services—such as flood protection, water storage, and carbon offsets—to inform policy-makers and investors on the benefits of maintaining natural and built infrastructure over traditional grey infrastructure.

• The assessment evaluates two types of infrastructure in Manitoba: Stephenfield Reservoir, a civil engineered reservoir used for domestic water supply and irrigation, and Pelly's Lake, a natural wetland managed for flood control.
• The ecosystem services provided by these sites include groundwater recharge, nutrient and sediment sequestration, carbon offsets, biodiversity and habitat improvement, and economic uses of biomass.
• The SAVi methodology determines the financial value of these natural services by calculating the cost of the grey infrastructure required to provide an equivalent level of service.
