HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Assessing the impact of surface water and groundwater interactions for regional-scale simulations of water table elevation

In this research highlight, researchers Hugo Delottier, Oliver S. Schilling, and René Therrien, conducted an in-depth exploration of how the interaction between surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) affects the accuracy of regional-scale simulations of water table elevations in Southern Quebec. This investigation was conducted over a vast 36,900 km² regional aquifer system, which is marked by a complex hydrogeological setup. The area of study includes a regional bedrock aquifer that is overlain by discontinuous Quaternary sediments, presenting a challenging environment for accurate hydrological modelling.

HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Rapid transport from the surface to wells in fractured rock: A unique infiltration tracer experiment

In this study, researchers investigated the dynamics of rapid transport from the surface to monitoring wells in fractured rock environments using a unique infiltration tracer experiment. The focus was on understanding how tracers or contaminants move quickly through fractures to wells, which is crucial for assessing water quality and contamination risks.
