Staff Research Highlight - Development of a fully integrated hydrological fate and transport model for plant protection products: incorporating groundwater, tile drainage, and runoff

This research investigates how the integrated hydrological modelling of plant protection products (PPPs) such as pesticides can provide a more comprehensive understanding of their environmental behavior across groundwater, surface water, and tile drainage systems.

HGS HIGHLIGHT – Estimating cumulative wastewater treatment plant discharge influences on acesulfame and Escherichia coli in a highly impacted watershed with a fully-integrated modelling approach

In this research highlight, researchers used HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to explore the impact of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge on surface water contamination in a mixed-use watershed in Ontario, Canada. The study focused on tracking acesulfame, a commonly used artificial sweetener, and Escherichia coli (E. coli), a fecal indicator, to understand how these contaminants move between surface and groundwater systems. Understanding the interactions between surface water and groundwater is critical in watersheds where WWTP discharge contributes to regional water quality concerns.

The Impact of SW-GW flow interactions for regional scale simulation of hydraulic heads: application in the south Quebec regional hydro system - Aquanty Webinar

A recording of our November 19th, 2024 webinar is now released.

This insightful session unpacks how the interplay between surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) influences the accuracy of hydraulic head simulations in Southern Quebec, a region with significant water management challenges.

Staff Research Highlight - Climate Change Impacts on Mountain Snowpacks

We’re happy to highlight a new publication co-authored by Aquanty’s senior data scientist, Dr. Andre Erler, focused on the expected impacts that climate change will have on snow depth in mountainous regions. This research relies solely on regional climate projections and employs a very similar model configuration (WRF version 4). The WRF simulations used in this paper are described in detail in Erler & Peltier (2017).

Staff Research Highlight - Future snow changes over the Columbia Mountains, Canada, using a distributed snow model

This paper, co-authored by Andre Erler and researchers from the University of Northern British Columbia, investigates climate change impacts on snow depth using a distributed snow model called SnowModel. Snowmelt is an essential water source for communities, and seasonal snow accumulation in many regions is decreasing with each passing year. Water managers, communities, and policymakers can benefit from improved snow modeling forecasts to inform their decision making and understand vulnerabilities to their water supply systems.
