Description

This solicitation is a request for proposals to develop an integrated watershed-scale Water Demand Forecasting Model (WDFM) for the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta. The model will support water availability efforts by simulating and forecasting water demands across various sectors, including municipal, irrigation, stock watering, industrial, and commercial uses. The project involves building, training, and testing machine learning and artificial intelligence models for each sector using available datasets. The model will be modular and flexible, designed to incorporate diverse assumptions and scenarios for sector-specific water demand estimates.
