Water

The IISD employs a combination of whole-lake experimentation at the Experimental Lakes Area in Ontario and policy analysis to manage watersheds and develop bioeconomies. Its work includes removing nutrients from the Lake Winnipeg watershed to produce renewable energy pellets and assessing climate change vulnerability in Pakistan's water sector.

• IISD utilizes the Experimental Lakes Area in Northwestern Ontario as an outdoor laboratory to conduct whole-lake experiments on pollutants, which informs its policy recommendations for safeguarding freshwater.
• The implementation of watershed bioeconomy approaches in the Lake Winnipeg watershed resulted in the removal of 15.7 tonnes of nitrogen and phosphorus and the production of 30,000 GJ of heat energy in 2015 via pellets made from cattails and grasses.
• IISD conducted a vulnerability assessment of Pakistan's water sector regarding climate change, analyzing supply and demand scenarios for 2050 and evaluating impacts on the health, agriculture, and energy sectors.
