Integrated Hydrologic Modelling for Agriculture & Forestry

Aquanty operates real-time and on-demand hydrologic forecasting platforms to help a wide variety of stakeholders understand and predict current and future water resources. Our user-friendly technology is enhancing landscape management, drought and flood risk assessment, and understanding of climate change impacts on watersheds across economically crucial areas of Canada.

From national-scale hydroclimatological analysis to field-scale soil moisture and chemical leaching prediction, the HydroGeoSphere simulation platform is a valuable tool for government agencies, agricultural stakeholder, and watershed managers to understand and manage water resources.

Special Projects

Aquanty helps agricultural stakeholders understand and predict water needs, optimize usage and adapt to climate change. From national-scale analysis to field-specific predictions- our solutions are designed to improve efficiency, mitigate risks and support sustainable practices.

A comprehensive water forecast map with multiple sections. Top left shows a map of watersheds with color-coded regions, and buttons for choosing watersheds and stations. Top right displays a map with water depth data and blue station markers. Bottom left features a map with stations and colored zones indicating streamflow gauges, with options for map layers and data display. Bottom right includes graphs labeled 'Depth to Water Table' and 'Soil Moisture,' showing field-scale forecasts with drill-down capabilities.

Simulating seasonal variations of tile drainage discharge in an agricultural catchment

A coupled surface-subsurface HydroGeoSphere model was constructed for a small (<10sqkm) agricultural catchment in Denmark in order to evaluate seasonal patterns in tile drainage discharge over a 2-year simulation period to better understand properties/processes dominating runoff from agricultural fields.

Dual permeability modeling of tile drain management influences on hydrology and nutrient transport in macroporous soil

This study demonstrated a dual permeability model was able to reproduce the influence of tile drain management practices on tile discharge, and nutrient transport, following a liquid swine manure application on a macroporous clay loam soil. Additionally, it was found that macropores were responsible for transmitting >95% of the solute load to tile discharge.

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.
