CWRA SK Branch Webinar: Advancing Water Intelligence: Real-Time Forecasting and Data Integration with HydroClimateSight and Canada1Water
We’re pleased to share the recording of the recent CWRA Saskatchewan Branch webinar, Advancing Water Intelligence: Real-Time Forecasting and Data Integration with HydroClimateSight and Canada1Water. Presented by Jag Phagura of Aquanty Inc., this session explores how integrated forecasting tools and national-scale datasets are helping improve modern water resource management across Canada.
HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Climate Change Alters Post-Surge Recovery of Coastal Aquifers
This publication co-authored by Satoshi Tajima, René Therrien and Philip Brunner investigates how climate change influences the recovery of coastal aquifers following storm surge events. This study leverages HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to simulate coupled groundwater flow and variable-density salt transport, addressing long-standing challenges in understanding how coastal aquifers respond to storm-driven seawater intrusion and how recovery dynamics may change under future climatic conditions.

Aquanty Featured in University of Waterloo News: Reading the signs in the streams before emergencies unfold
We’re excited to share that Aquanty has been featured in a new story from University of Waterloo News, highlighting how our hydrologic modelling and forecasting technologies are helping communities anticipate water-related risks before they become emergencies.
HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Numerical simulation of geothermal energy transfer beneath exothermic waste rock piles
This publication, co-authored by Jasmin Raymond, René Therrien, Louis Gosselin, and René Lefebvre, which investigates how geothermal energy can be harnessed beneath exothermic waste rock piles to improve the performance of ground-coupled heat pump systems. This study leverages HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to simulate coupled subsurface fluid flow and heat transfer, addressing long-standing challenges in quantifying how enhanced subsurface temperatures generated by sulfide mineral oxidation can reduce the required length and number of ground heat exchangers.
HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Saltwater Circulation Driven by Shoreline Curvature in Coastal Aquifers
This publication co-authored by Xuan Yu, Lanxuan He, Rongjiang Yao, Zexuan Xu, George Kourakos, Jie Yang, and Franklin W. Schwartz, which investigates how shoreline curvature influences saltwater circulation, freshwater–saltwater mixing, and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in coastal aquifers. This study leverages HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to perform fully three-dimensional, variable-density groundwater flow and salt transport simulations, addressing long-standing limitations of two-dimensional coastal aquifer models that neglect along-shore and lateral flow processes.

The HydroGeoSphere April 2026 release is now available for download.
HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Quantifying the effects of water management decisions on streambank stability
This publication co-authored by Q. Wei, A. Brookfield, and A. Layzell, investigates how water management decisions influence streambank stability by altering subsurface hydrologic conditions. This study leverages HydroGeoSphere (HGS), coupled with the surface water operations model OASIS, to address long-standing challenges in linking reservoir operations, groundwater pumping, and hydrologic dynamics to the physical mechanisms driving streambank failure.
HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Stable Water Isotopes Improve Calibration and Flow path Identification in Integrated Hydrological Model
This publication co-authored by Omar Ashraf Nimr, Hannu Marttila, Anna Autio, and Pertti Ala-Aho, investigates how stable water isotopes can improve calibration, uncertainty reduction, and flow path identification in fully integrated surface–subsurface hydrological models. This study leverages HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to explicitly simulate both hydrologic processes and isotope transport, addressing long-standing challenges related to equifinality and internal process realism in groundwater–surface water modelling.
