HGS RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT – Improving control of contamination from waste rock piles

This study conducted by researchers investigates how well compacted cover layers on waste rock piles can mitigate infiltration into these waste piles, reducing the overall potential for oxidation of sulfidic waste materials and control environmental contamination. The research provides a detailed examination of how different cover configurations and hydrogeological conditions affect the performance of these covers in mitigating risks associated with waste rock piles.

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.
