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.

Announcing HydroClimateSight - Aquanty’s comprehensive suite of web services
As we continue to develop new technologies, we’ve realized the necessity to reformulate the way that these technologies are presented/communicated to our stakeholders. With that in mind, we’re here to announce the rebirth of our suite of web-based technologies as HydroClimateSight (HCS). HCS brings all of our technologies together under a common umbrella, providing users with a comprehensive suite of tools to support decision making with best-in-class, physics and AI-based hydro-climatological forecasting. Read-on to learn more about the unique value that Aquanty can offer by combining a comprehensive suite of weather, climate and hydrological prediction tools.
Aquanty Selected as Finalist for New Tech Award for Machine-Learning Based Streamflow Forecasting
Aquanty Inc. is proud to have been selected as finalists for the New Tech award at the annual Water Canada Awards. This award recognizes a groundbreaking new product at the forefront of technological innovation in the Canadian water sector.
"HGSRT: Physics-based hydrologic forecasting, powered by HydroGeoSphere" - Aquanty Webinar
A recording of our July 17th, 2024 webinar is now released.
In this webinar, we dive into the revolutionary capabilities of our physics based hydrologic forecasting platform - a cutting-edge cloud-based computing system transforming hydrological forecasting. By integrating near-real-time field observations, remote sensing products, and meteorological predictions, this platform provides unparalleled accuracy and reliability in hydrological forecasts.
"HydroSphereAI: Machine Learning for Flood and Drought Forecasting" - Aquanty Webinar
Aquanty has developed a new machine-learning model that can produce highly accurate streamflow forecasts hours or days into the future. We are currently working on integrating these new capabilities into our suite of web-based water decision support tools. As one of the only companies in Canada currently doing this kind of forecasting, we are well positioned to meet a growing need for advanced forecasting tools. ML-based streamflow forecasts are currently available for a small selection of watersheds in southwestern Ontario through Aquanty’s HGSRT web platform.
Ontario Water Consortium - WIG Project Highlight: Using machine learning to make flood forecasts less wishy-washy
The Ontario Water Consortium has written an excellent article which reviews Aquanty’s latest technology driven initiative that can be used to manage water resources. With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, Aquanty is making machine-learning (i.e. artificial intelligence) driven real-time flood forecasting a reality.
"Using Wetlands to Flatten the Hydrograph" - Webinar
We were so pleased to see a presentation featuring HydroGeoSphere at this year's Latornell Conservation Symposium. The presentation (“Using Wetlands to “Flatten the Hydrograph”) was delivered by representatives from Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC), and focused on a recent collaboration between DUC, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and Aquanty. At the center of the project is an advanced integrated hydrologic model of the Dog Lake watershed in Northern Ontario.
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.
