Aquanty Staff Research Highlight – Saturated hydraulic conductivity in northern peats inferred from other measurements
Morris et al. 2022 is a meta-analysis of 2507 peatland soil samples across Northern Canada and parts of Europe, which relates saturated hydraulic conductivity to depth and more commonly measured parameters like bulk density or the Van Post Humification Scale.
Research Highlight - Rising importance of economic valuation of ecosystem services in protecting Canada's vital resources
As part of Aquanty’s ongoing “Lunch ‘n’ Learn” our newest team member (Dr. Tariq Aziz) had the chance to present his recent research on quantifying the 'hidden' value offered by Southern Ontario's ecosystems. The valuation of ecosystem services is something that Aquanty believes strongly in, and we're excited to welcome Dr. Aziz to the team so he can help us to translate HydroGeoSphere model outputs into economic metrics that are more relevant for water resources professionals and policy makers.

Aquanty, which is a research spin off from the University of Waterloo, is at the forefront of developing state-of-the-art fully-integrated hydrologic models to better understand and predict water resource behavior and availability under both near term weather, and long term climate change scenarios. Aquanty’s flagship software platform, HydroGeoSphere (HGS), is a state-of-the-art fully-integrated GW-SW simulator that can couple with both weather forecasts and future climate scenarios in order to derive predictive insight on water resources. As part of the continental scale Canada 1 Water (C1W) project, HGS models are being built for all of Canada.
