Traditional water resources engineering has historically relied on compartmentalized models that address specific aspects of the hydrological cycle. However, as we navigate through an era marked by unprecedented environmental challenges and the increasing complexity of water systems, it has become evident that a more comprehensive and integrated strategy is required. Fortunately, simulation tools like HydroGeoSphere (HGS) have been rapidly improving, and in the evolving landscape of water resources engineering an integrated approach to hydrologic modelling has emerged as the way of the future!

Our real-time and on-demand hydrologic forecasting platforms powered by HydroGeoSphere provide a wide range of benefits to stakeholders by enhancing their understanding of watershed hydrology and providing predictive analytics for short- and long-term water resources planning. Our user-friendly technology plays a significant role in improving landscape management, evaluating drought and flood risks, and understanding the impacts of climate change across Canada. The HydroGeoSphere (HGS) simulation and Real Time (HGSRT) technology provide the basis for addressing water resources challenges at all scales, from field level soil moisture and chemical leaching forecasts to continental hydroclimatological risk analysis. Its application aids in the management and understanding of both water quantity and quality, and the complex interactions between groundwater and surface water. Our platforms serve as invaluable tools for watershed managers, government bodies, agricultural stakeholders, and others.

An integrated approach to coupling climate and hydrologic sciences is critical to securing water resources in an uncertain future, requiring a comprehensive understanding of the interdependence between atmospheric and terrestrial components of the water cycle. Aquanty’s physics-based approach to modelling both climate and hydrologic systems reduces the uncertainty inherent in statistical hydro-climatic modelling as climatic drivers drift further from historical norms.

A mine-scale HydroGeoSphere (HGS) integrated groundwater-surface water model is ideal for assessing mine site design performance, including the quantification of pit inflows during operation and the impact of mine operations on the surrounding landscape. Additionally, climate change projections can be used in conjunction with HGS models to investigate potential climate change impacts on mine operations and long-term sustainability. HGS simulation technology is emerging as an integral part of mine closure design optimization to verify that post-mining hydrologic conditions meet regulatory criteria and ensure sustainable resource extraction..

Understanding the effects of temperature, salinity and solute concentrations on fluid density is crucial for accurately modelling and predicting groundwater movement, contaminant transport, and the sustainable management of groundwater resources, especially in coastal regions. Density dependent flow modelling provides a framework for incorporating these effects into hydrogeological analyses and decision-making processes. Whether fluid density dynamics are driven by elevated solute concentrations, geothermal energy or saltwater effects, Aquanty’s flagship simulation platform HydroGeoSphere represents an industry leading solution for accurately simulating density driven flow systems, with full support for density effects in all available model domains including surface and groundwater flow, fracture flow, and more.
