Studies and Activities
in and around the Tay River Watershed

1. Tay River Watershed Groundwater Research
   Queen`s University (Department of Civil Engineering) is conducting innovative groundwater research in the Tay Watershed. Project leader Dr. Novakowski and his graduate students are conducting research in the areas of fluid flow and contaminant migration in fractured rock formations using a series of test wells in the area. This is an eight year study into several aspects of groundwater migration, rural contamination and sustainability, including investigations of nutrient management practices, groundwater recharge, bacterial and nitrate contamination, and groundwater - surface water interaction in a Canadian shield environment. They have set up a website to summarize and share their research to date with short project summaries and links to articles, posters and presentations (click here to access). It will updated a few times a year as new material becomes available.
