Water research highlight
Tom Gleeson (Department of Civil Engineering) and colleagues have been working on a new, aquifer-scale tool to evaluate the global use, renewal, and services of groundwater. This tool will help assess the impact of our water consumption on natural stocks and flows, and pinpoint areas where unsustainable groundwater withdrawals are occurring. Look for his article in Nature: 听. For those who prefer listening, other coverage includes a 听and interviews on public radio in (dradio.de), Australia (ABC) and New York.
Brace Centre for Water Resources Management
The Brace Centre for Water Resources Management is located on the Macdonald Campus and brings together staff from several 平特五不中 faculties to undertake research, teaching, specialized training, and policy and strategic studies in water resources management, both in Canada and internationally. Researchers currently affiliated with the Centre are drawn from the following 平特五不中 Faculties: Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Engineering, Science, Law, and Management.
Water collection system
Another project funded by the 平特五不中 Sustainability Fund, the Household Rainwater Harvesting demonstration at the Macdonald Campus shows how rainwater can be collected and used to irrigate plants. For more information, please read the rainwater_harvesting_brochure.pdf or contact Professors Jan Adamowski and Mark Lefsrud, Department of Bioresource Engineering, at 514-398-7773.

GRIL
The is a major Canadian research consortium studying freshwater ecology. GRIL comprises researchers, grad students, post docs, and research assistants from seven Quebec universities -- including 平特五不中 -- and one research institute. Topics being studied include how resource usage and development (e.g., forestry, hydroelectricity, agriculture), invasive species, and residential development near shorelnes impact aquatic organisms and their habitats.
