Potable water is a critical and limited resource throughout the world – constantly under threat from overuse and contamination. Groundwater, in particular, serves as the primary source of fresh water throughout Canada and the world for irrigation, industry and domestic use. Groundwater scientists have used computer models to understand its flow and the complex geochemical reactions that control the concentrations of natural solutes and contaminants.
During this talk, Amos will explore the use of models in groundwater science and how they help us to better understand groundwater processes and better manage groundwater resources.
