Mapping aquifer stress

Quantifying groundwater pumping impacts on environmental flowsWe have developed a new, fast, and accurate method for quantifying the impact of groundwater pumping on environmental flows. Through a series of projects with Foundry Spatial and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, we have tested it in watersheds in British Columbia, California, and Kansas. |
Collaborating with governments, NGOs, and industryWe routinely interact with governments, NGOs, and industry through projects, workshops, and forums like the BC Water Leaders. Tom is a science advisor with Foundry Spatial and an academic advisor with the POLIS Water Sustainability Project. |
Supporting regional water governance with community science.We are starting a community science project on Vancouver Island called 'Koksilah Connections' to improve understanding of problematic summer flows to encourage deeper community engagement and co-governance between Indigenous and provincial governments. |
