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.
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.

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.

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…

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

📢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. 🧵⬇️
