  • High Returns on Better Water Management for the City of Guelph Greater Lakes Project | March 2015
    Reconnecting the Great Lakes Water Cycle High Returns on Better Water Management for the City of Guelph Greater Lakes Project | March 2015 The Great Lakes Commission’s Greater Lakes project explores municipal water conservation/efficiency programs and green infra- structure projects that address human water needs in ways that are more strongly linked to the natural water cycle. This fact sheet presents our analysis of Guelph’s water resources and suggests additional programs and projects that will result in a resilient water system more in sync with nature, making it more economically and environmentally sustainable. Guelph has made major strides in water conservation and efficiency, making it a leader in this field. Nevertheless, our analysis shows that more work can show measurable and significant results, particularly with the use of green infrastructure programs. The Fractured Water Cycle Guelph, just like other municipalities, has been built in a way that disrupted the nat- ural water cycle. Water supply has been withdrawn from the ground or a stream, but is rarely returned to the same place. Once used, water was treated as waste – whether as wastewater or stormwater – to be gotten rid of as quickly as possible through pipes discharging to streams, rivers or the Great Lakes. By moving rainwater away from their homes and businesses as rapidly as possible, the water is prevent- ed from percolating into the ground, where it can restore local water supplies and be available for the ecosystem. The resulting stormwater runoff discharges at exces- sive rates leading to erosion, pollutant transport and downstream flooding. We have now come to realize that restoring the natural hydrology is a cost-effective and sus- tainable approach to addressing these problems.

  • Groundwater – Surface Water Interactions Discrete Fracture Networks of Bedrock Rivers
    Groundwater – Surface Water Interactions in the Discrete Fracture Networks of Bedrock Rivers by Celia Sylvia Cassis Kennedy A Thesis presented to the University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences Guelph, Ontario, Canada Celia Sylvia Cassis Kennedy, June, 2017 Abstract Groundwater – Surface Water Interactions in the Discrete Fracture Networks of Bedrock Rivers Celia Sylvia Cassis Kennedy Advisors: University of Guelph, 2017 Professor Beth Parker Professor Gary Parkin Professor Emmanuelle Arnaud Bedrock rivers exist where surface water flows along an exposed riverbed aquifer, but little is known about their physical and chemical properties. Groundwater and surface water are linked at the streambed interface, leading to shared sustainability issues. The sharing of common pathways into and out of the streambed fracture networks provides opportunity for the exchange of thermal, chemical and biological constituents, affecting water quality and ecosystem health. Alluvial rivers exhibit granular beds and their flow patterns are well understood. Much of our water-resource management decisions are based on alluvial river conceptual models using an equivalent porous media (EPM) approach. Since bedrock rivers are more challenging to instrument, their complex flow patterns have not been addressed in the discrete fracture network (DFN) context, thus, there is a gap in the literature. This is the first study of a bedrock river yielding a field-based conceptual model of the spatio- temporal variability of groundwater fluxes and head differentials between groundwater and surface water in the upper 0.30 m of an intact dolostone streambed. A field site along the Eramosa River, in Guelph, ON, Canada, was developed, where the longitudinally-stepped profile of a bedrock riffle-pool sequence exists within a channel meander.

  • This Friday: Kindness Spread on a Mass Scale Around Guelph
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE This Friday: Kindness spread on a mass scale around Guelph “How do we change the world? One random act of kindness at a time” – Morgan Freeman Schools, adults, community groups, organizations of all shapes and sizes will be demonstrating what kindness means to them this Friday November 6th throughout the Guelph community. If you find yourself on the streets of Guelph this Friday, you will no doubt encounter a kindness act in the making. From The Letter M’s free breakfast table downtown, to a free Guelph Mercury newspaper when you ride the bus, to free hugs and hot chocolate at The University of Guelph. You may be strolling along Cork Street and help yourself to a lollipop because kindness truly is sweet. Kindness may take the form of a coffee paid for you by a stranger. You may see kindness in the appreciation from a co-worker. Maybe a door will be held open for you; you may receive a phone call from an old friend. Perhaps you will notice oversized sticky notes on the street corner with kindness quotes that encourage you to act out in kindness toward someone else. If you were a fly on the wall in one of our schools, you would see students exchanging “pay it forward” kindness cards, collecting food for donation, reading books about kindness, listen to morning announcements that encourage students to include kindness in their day, and see lesson plans based around the kindness character trait. Stay tuned on social media all day Friday, where the community will be “caught in the act of kindness” and where we will be sharing kindness stories through images, video, and inspiring words – and we’ll continue to share the kindness throughout the month of November.
