Welcome to the Waterloo Hydrology Lab
Homepage
We are a research group in the Water Resources Section of the Civil
and Environmental Engineering Department of the University of Waterloo. The
following professors contribute graduate students to the Lab: Dr. E.D. Soulis, Dr.
N. Kouwen, Dr. D. Burn, Dr. W.K. Annable, Dr. B. Tolson, Dr. J. Craig, and Dr. W.
Parker. Management of the lab is done by Frank Seglenieks in consultation with the
contributing professors.
In the Hydrology lab we focus on the application of meso-scale
hydrological models to various river basins around the world. Both of the
hydrological models used, WATFLOOD and WATFLOW, were developed at the lab and are
currently being used by research groups and government agencies internationally.
Most of the projects carried out by the lab are done in partnership
with different divisions of Environment Canada while funding coming from various
government agencies including Environment Canada, NSERC, and CFCAS.
The Hydrology Lab is also in charge of the operation of the
University of Waterloo Weather Station. The station has been in operation since
February of 1998 and has all the equipment of a Class A Environment Canada synoptic
weather station. The website associated with the station provides current weather
conditions updated every 15 minutes as well as free access to an archive containing all
data ever recorded at the station. The website is very popular recording over 2000
visits every day while data from the station are often quoted by the local media.
