<p>WWW has created the Hugh Whiteley Lifetime Achievement Award. Our
goal in creating this award are twofold:</p>
<ul>
<li>to honour Hugh’s immense contributions and</li>
<li>to inspire a new generation of water protectors.</li>
</ul>
<p>This will be an annual award given to one person each year who
demonstrates an extraordinary passion and dedication to water
protection. The first recipient will be Hugh himself.</p>

please read the bio below.</p>

<p><strong>Bio:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rivers Advocate Dr. Hugh Whiteley:</strong></p>
<p>By Janet Baine - GRCA Communications Specialist</p>

Actions – The Grand River watershed newsletter</a>. January/February
2016. Volume 21, Number1.</p>
<p>University of Guelph engineer and hydrologist Dr. Hugh Whiteley is
a passionate advocate for the rivers in his community. For his years
of dedication, especially to local waterways, he received a 2015
Watershed Award from the GRCA.</p>
<p>Whiteley's interest in water is rooted in genetics. One grandfather
was a sea captain, the other operated a summer resort on Mara Lake in
B.C. At age four he received his first paddle and accompanied his
parents on many canoe trips.</p>
<p>As a child, he built snow dams in the spring and raced matchstick
boats in the runoff streams in front of his Ottawa home. This led to a
study of engineering at Queen’s University with a fourth year
undergraduate thesis on flood prediction. Thirsty for more knowledge
of water, he studied at Imperial College in London (Diploma in
Hydrology) and at the St. Anthony Falls laboratory at the University
of Minnesota (M.Sc.). Whiteley then applied his training in Guyana
(Land of ThreeRivers).</p>
<p>He arrived at the University of Guelph in1966 to teach and also
complete his Ph.D. in hydrology. His teaching and research focused on
water flow within the landscape.</p>
<p>“A great contribution Hugh made to the GRCA is likely the
development of the hydrologic modeling system that we use to run all
our flood forecasting,” said James Etienne, the GRCA’s senior water
resources engineer. “And he probably taught half of the engineering
staff at the GRCA.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Flood forecasting model</strong></p>
<p>Flood forecasting is a key activity of the GRCA, especially during
the spring. Whiteley’s stream flow modeling system is called the
Guelph All-Weather Storm-Event Runoff Model (GAWSER). It was developed
35 years ago as a tool for research on causes of pollution in the
Great Lakes when Whiteley was part of an international group- the
Pollution from Land Use Activities Reference Group (PLUARG).</p>
<p>The GAWSER model examined the impact of agricultural drainage on
water quality of streams flowing into the Great Lakes. Whiteley
applied this model in the Canagagigue Creek watershed, a tributary of
the Grand River flowing through Elmira. When floodplain mapping was
being updated by the GRCA in the mid ’80s, Lorrie Minshall, Whiteley’s
former student and an employee of the GRCA (now retired), asked him to
adapt his model to estimate flood flows for floodplain mapping. Two
former students — Dwight Boyd, now the GRCA’s director of engineering,
and Dr. Harold Schroeder — adapted GAWSER for use in the Grand River
watershed. Several other conservation authorities in southern Ontario
also use it.</p>
<p>“The model did such a great job of modelling the hydrology of the
Speed and Eramosa River and later the Grand River, it was adapted into
the forecast model used by GRCA today to help manage and forecast
floods,” said Boyd.</p>
<p>When it comes to finding engineering solutions, Whiteley has always
adhered to the mantra of the undergraduate engineering students at the
University of Guelph – “all of us are smarter than any of us.” For
this reason, he said his achievements have all been collaborative
efforts with the contributions and support of his colleagues.</p>
