Everyone understands that preservation and restoration of water quality is one of the world's most pressing challenges. To be able to accurately assess and predict the effects of activities on water quality, one needs to understand the flows, pathways, circulations and interactions that occur. Our strong technical basis in hydrodynamics and sediment processes, coupled with the expertise of Kilgour & Associates Ltd. in aquatic eco-toxicology and biology provides a depth and breadth of experience that can tackle the most challenging water quality problems.
Our consulting services in this field range from site assessments and mapping through to data collection, monitoring, assessment and modelling. 1-D, 2-D, 3-D circulation modeling, plume mixing models, and contaminant particle modelling (using PTM) provide state-of-the-practice tools for the evaluation of the fate and effects of contaminants.
