We’re pleased to share that Aquanty recently contributed a guest blog post to WaterPower Canada, authored by Dr. Andre Erler, Senior Climate Scientist at Aquanty. The article “Harnessing Advanced Hydrologic Models to Help Canadian Hydroelectric Operators Navigate Climate Change” explores how advanced hydrologic modelling and forecasting tools can help Canadian hydroelectric operators navigate increasing uncertainty driven by climate change.
Canada relies heavily on hydropower, with more than 60% of electricity generated from water. However, shifting precipitation patterns, declining snowpack, changing runoff timing, and more frequent extreme weather events are reshaping the hydrologic systems that hydroelectric generation depends on. These changes introduce new operational and planning challenges for dam operators, utilities, and energy planners across the country.
The guest feature highlights how physics-based watershed modelling with HydroGeoSphere supports long-term climate adaptation planning, helping operators assess future water availability, infrastructure resilience, and energy production potential under changing climate conditions. It also discusses how HydroSphereAI (HSAI), Aquanty’s machine-learning based streamflow forecasting technology, provides near-real-time operational insight — improving reservoir management, generation planning, and flood-risk preparedness.
Together, these complementary tools help hydroelectric operators shift from reactive water management to more proactive, climate-resilient decision-making — supporting energy reliability, environmental stewardship, and community safety.
We encourage you to read the full guest article on the WaterPower Canada website to explore how advanced hydrologic simulation technology is helping shape the future of Canadian hydropower.
