Staff Research Highlight - 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.
Staff Research Highlight - Improving monitoring network design to detect leaks at hazardous facilities: Lessons from a CO2 storage site
This research specifically utilizes the Korea CO₂ Storage Environmental Management (K-COSEM) test site to develop methodologies that address the challenges posed by uncertainty in detecting subsurface leakages.

HGS HIGHLIGHT – Estimating cumulative wastewater treatment plant discharge influences on acesulfame and Escherichia coli in a highly impacted watershed with a fully-integrated modelling approach
In this research highlight, researchers used HydroGeoSphere (HGS) to explore the impact of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharge on surface water contamination in a mixed-use watershed in Ontario, Canada. The study focused on tracking acesulfame, a commonly used artificial sweetener, and Escherichia coli (E. coli), a fecal indicator, to understand how these contaminants move between surface and groundwater systems. Understanding the interactions between surface water and groundwater is critical in watersheds where WWTP discharge contributes to regional water quality concerns.
The Impact of SW-GW flow interactions for regional scale simulation of hydraulic heads: application in the south Quebec regional hydro system - Aquanty Webinar
A recording of our November 19th, 2024 webinar is now released.
This insightful session unpacks how the interplay between surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) influences the accuracy of hydraulic head simulations in Southern Quebec, a region with significant water management challenges.
Staff Research Highlight - Climate Change Impacts on Mountain Snowpacks
We’re happy to highlight a new publication co-authored by Aquanty’s senior data scientist, Dr. Andre Erler, focused on the expected impacts that climate change will have on snow depth in mountainous regions. This research relies solely on regional climate projections and employs a very similar model configuration (WRF version 4). The WRF simulations used in this paper are described in detail in Erler & Peltier (2017).
Staff Research Highlight - Great Lakes Basin Heat Waves
We’re pleased to highlight new research co-authored by C1W collaborators at Aquanty (Andre Erler) and the University of Toronto (Dr. Richard Peltier). This new paper explores the effects of climate change and greenhouse gases on extreme heat events in the Great Lakes region.
