Our global reputation stems from pioneering research in state-of-the-art computer modeling, groundbreaking field studies across natural and engineered landscapes, and sophisticated experiments conducted in our expansive 1240 m² T. Blench Hydraulics Laboratory - among Canada's most extensive hydraulic research facilities.
Water resources engineering focuses on managing society's water needs. Our work examines fundamental hydraulic processes critical for preserving, enhancing, and comprehending both natural ecosystems and human-made systems. We create innovative approaches for managing floods and water scarcity, wastewater systems, municipal and agricultural water distribution, stormwater management, inland waterway transportation, hydropower projects, river ice challenges, and climate adaptation strategies.
