Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

CIIP Korea - RT HGS-ML - HydroGeoSphere-Machine Learning Model Development for Real-Time Water Resources Management
1025013
As part of the international consortium project “RT HGS-ML”, this project will focus enhancing water resource management by integrating the advanced HydroGeoSphere (HGS) model with machine learning (ML). Over three years, the initiative will develop ML algorithms to boost real-time simulations for better decision-making. Year one focuses on algorithm development and setting up data collection and preprocessing systems. Year two involves a proof-of-concept phase to evaluate the integrated model's performance. The final year will apply this model to a real-world watershed for accurate, real-time predictions. Deliverables include a hybrid modeling tool, a user-friendly interface, comprehensive technical documentation, and stakeholder training.

Improved soil moisture forecasting using AI and remote sensing
928865
Aquanty is developing a real-time hydrologic forecasting platform, HGS-RT, enhancement of which is the focus of this project. While the current HGS-RT platform provides valuable insight on future hydrologic conditions across Southern Ontario via the 14-day stream-flow forecast,there is demand for higher resolution hydrologic forecasting data to serve the need of municipal-level emergency services as well as the agricultural community. Specifically, municipalities are interested high-skill short-term flood risk forecasts for their local areas, and agricultural producers are interested in field-scale soil moisture forecasts that take into account crop details not captured in the current platform.
