Very pleased that our new paper has come out. Together we integrated a reduced-complexity #groundwater model in #WSIMOD. WSIMOD integrates human and natural components of the water system and provides very exciting modelling opportunities. Really happy that groundwater is now in.
BGS Environmental Modelling@bgsenvmod28 May 2024
Our paper in collaboration with Imperial's #WSIMOD team out. We incorporated a #groundwater module into the integrated water system model and apply a flux tracking approach to reveal groundwater and river baseflow origins and assess groundwater abstraction management options.

We've just created the first national scale #groundwater model of Great Britain: bgs.ac.uk/news/first-nationa… If you want to know more, have a look at our open access paper: doi.org/10.1080/02626667.202…

One in six homes in the UK are at risk of flooding 🏠 💧 We've launched a training centre to better understand and manage flooding which has caused havoc across the UK this month. Find out more 👉 brnw.ch/21wFVtk

Nice article in the @BBCNews today discussing the tool we built working with @Thames21 and plans for its use by those seeking to tackle this source of pollution.
Thames21@Thames2118 Oct 2023
Great to see our very own John Bryden featured in the @BBCNews today discussing the Road Pollution Solutions Tool we developed. Road runoff has a serious impact on rivers and can kill wildlife. Read full story here: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lo…

London pollution: Maps shows worst areas for road run-off pollution

The interactive online tool highlights Barking and Dagenham and Barnet as two of the hot-spot areas.

Great to see this go live! We've been very pleased to have worked with @Thames21 to deliver this new online tool in collaboration with @CamelliaWater
Thames21@Thames2116 Oct 2023
📢A new online tool which highlights where the opportunities are to install nature-based solutions, such as wetlands, to tackle road runoff pollution before it ends up in London’s rivers has gone live today. 🧵⬇️
