Staff Research Highlight - Improving precision in regional scale numerical simulations of groundwater flow into underground openings
The study presents a novel numerical framework to improve the accuracy of regional-scale groundwater flow simulations into underground openings, such as tunnels and deep geological repositories. Traditionally, simulating groundwater inflows into engineered underground structures has involved significant simplifications, often treating tunnels as drain features or imposing boundary conditions that fail to fully capture the physical behavior of fluid flow around these voids. This research addresses those limitations by introducing a new numerical boundary condition to simulate groundwater flow into underground openings more accurately.

HydroClimateSight Feature Highlight: Unlock Powerful Insights with HydroClimateSight’s Remote Sensing Map Layers
Modern water and land resource management relies on timely, reliable, and spatially detailed data. Aquanty’s HydroClimateSight platform empowers decision-makers by integrating a diverse set of authoritative datasets into a range of physics-based and machine-learning based hydrologic models. HydroClimateSight provides direct access to many of these datasets through the Remote Sending tab to help users better understand the datasets that go into these models. Let’s review some of the available data layers that give HCS users visual and analytical insights sourced from globally recognized organizations, government agencies, and open-data initiatives.
Research Highlight - Model simplification to simulate groundwater recharge from a perched gravel-bed river
This publication co-authored by Antoine Di Ciacca, Scott Wilson, Patrick Durney, Guglielmo Stecca, and Thomas Wöhling, investigates model simplification strategies to simulate groundwater recharge from perched gravel-bed rivers. This study leverages HydroGeoSphere (HGS) as a fully integrated 3D surface–subsurface model, alongside 2D cross-sectional and 1D analytical models, to address long-standing challenges in representing river–aquifer interactions while reducing computational demands.
Research Highlight - Is the Water Balance of Your Waste Rock Pile Reliable? A framework for Improving Assessment of Water Inputs and Outputs for a Typical Storage Facility
This research focuses on understanding the dynamics of topography-driven groundwater flow systems using fully-coupled surface–subsurface hydrologic modelling. This study addresses long-standing challenges in representing nested flow systems by simulating interactions between climate, topography, and groundwater without relying on potentially unrealistic, static boundary conditions.

Staff Research Highlight - Quantifying the potential of using Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) soil moisture variability to predict subsurface water dynamics
Aquanty staff investigate the potential for using near-surface soil moisture measurements from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite to predict subsurface soil moisture and groundwater storage dynamics. This research offers valuable insights into how satellite-based soil moisture data can inform large-scale hydrological modelling and support more effective water resource management.
