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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Science Caf\u00e9 series is organized by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/science.carleton.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Faculty of Science<\/a> at 杏吧原创 University to discuss relevant issues facing our society and how science can help solve real-world problems. Meet some of our award-winning faculty members and graduate students as they share their excitement about science with the community.
