Manitoba Forage and Grasslands Association wins Water Canada innovation award
We’re proud to share that the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) has been awarded the 2025 Early Adopter/Innovation Partnership Award from Water Canada for its pioneering work with Aquanty on hydrologic modelling in Manitoba.
The award recognizes outstanding collaborations that advance Manitoba and Canada’s water sector through innovation and partnership. MFGA earned this recognition for its leadership in applying Aquanty’s HydroGeoSphere-based modelling platform to better understand and manage water resources across agricultural landscapes.
Manitoba Cooperator - Farm climate adaptation on tap with MFGA project
The Manitoba Co-operator has featured the latest MFGA initiative, with comments from Dr. Steve Frey, Aquanty’s Director of Research Services, highlighting how advanced modelling is supporting more climate-resilient farming in Manitoba. The new project “Evaluating climate change impacts on Manitoba’s forage and grassland landscapes” will build on the MFGA Aquanty hydrologic model to simulate how changing climate conditions could impact water availability, land use, and agricultural sustainability across the Pembina Valley and Assiniboine West Watershed Districts.
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.
