HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Understanding the vulnerability of surface–groundwater interactions to climate change: insights from a Bavarian Forest headwater catchment

This study used HydroGeoSphere to evaluate the impact of climate change on streamflow and water availability within a small forested catchment in South-East Germany. Climate forecasts in the region predict a significant decrease in precipitation over the coming decades. Based on integrated hydrologic modelling of the catchment, this forecasted decline in precipitation combined with a relatively steady rate of evapotranspiration (compared to the historical period) will result in prolonged drought conditions, which in turn will result in declining groundwater levels, decreased baseflow to the upstream reaches of the stream network.

"Using Wetlands to Flatten the Hydrograph" - Webinar

We were so pleased to see a presentation featuring HydroGeoSphere at this year's Latornell Conservation Symposium. The presentation (“Using Wetlands to “Flatten the Hydrograph”) was delivered by representatives from Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC), and focused on a recent collaboration between DUC, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and Aquanty. At the center of the project is an advanced integrated hydrologic model of the Dog Lake watershed in Northern Ontario.

Manitoba Cooperator - Field-level water forecasts: There’s an app for that

The Manitoba Cooperator has written an excellent article (with comments from Dr. Steve Frey, Aquanty’s Director of Research Services) which reviews some of the new technology driven initiatives to manage water resources throughout Manitoba, with a specific focus on the newly developed MFGA Aquanty Forecasting Tool - a real-time hydrologic forecasting system for decision-support around water movement, soil health, climate risk assessment & mitigation in the Assiniboine River Basin and Pembina River watersheds.

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Mega-Tidal and Surface Flooding Controls on Coastal Groundwater and Saltwater Intrusion Within Agricultural Dikelands

The study highlighted here makes full use of the density dependent flow modelling capabilities of HydroGeoSphere to investigate the impacts of climate change on groundwater-ocean interactions, and how sea-level rise, tides and storm-surges impact the long-term position of an upper saline plume in a coastal agricultural dikeland in Nova Scotia, Canada.
