Our global reputation stems from pioneering research in state-of-the-art computer simulations, 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 interaction with water systems. Our work examines fundamental hydraulic processes critical for preserving, enhancing, and comprehending both natural ecosystems and human-made infrastructure. We create innovative approaches for managing extreme water events, municipal water networks, agricultural irrigation systems, urban stormwater management, inland waterway transportation, hydropower projects, river ice dynamics, and climate adaptation strategies.
