Assessment accommodation

**Duties**:
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to work on a project focusing on groundwater flow patterns and the presence of poor quality water due to natural and anthropogenic contaminants in a region of southern Ontario. These quality issues pose serious environmental and health problems, since groundwater is sometimes unfit for consumption or irrigation. It can also sometimes contain methane and/or H2S (which is toxic). The study area covers approximately 2000 km2 and corresponds to the lower part of the Grand River watershed. It includes two First Nations reserves with water supply issues.

The main objective of this PhD thesis is to characterize the properties of shallow aquifers in the study area and to examine groundwater flow and the dynamics between surface water and groundwater. To this end, this thesis will involve:

- the collection of relevant existing data,
- fieldwork,
- laboratory analyses,
- interpretation of acquired data,
- and 2D and 3D numerical modeling.

Fieldwork will include permeability tests (i.e., slug tests) and the installation of pressure transducers in monitoring wells, permeability tests in surficial sediments using a Guelph permeameter, and sampling of surficial sediment and core samples. Different approaches will be used to estimate the various components of the water budget, including recharge. For modeling purposes, a conceptual model will first be developed based on the existing provincial geological (Quaternary and bedrock) models, which will include estimated hydrogeological property values and boundary conditions. Next, hydrogeological models will be developed to test the estimated property values and conditions, then more complex integrated SW/GW models will be developed based on the knowledge gained from the previous models. The latter will then be used to make predictions, in order to study the impacts of climate change and the fate of contaminant plumes.

This work will support land use management and help better plan water supply in problem areas. This thesis is part of a larger multi-institutional project led by the GSC.

**Intent of the process**:
The intention is to staff one student position for the completion of a PhD on the investigation of groundwater flow and groundwater-surface water interactions under climate change in the Grand River watershed (Ontario).
