The groundwater research group is based on the Scarborough Campus but interacts strongly and effectively with the Department of Geology and Institute for Environmental Studies on the St. George Campus. For hydrophysical and contaminant flow experiments the hydrogeological laboratory supports an aquifer simulation tank with manometers and peristaltic pumps, soil columns, and a range of soil permeameters. To support the research operation the group maintains a facility for numerical modelling and GIS analysis. The facility is fully equipped with scanners, digitizers, laser printers and a large-scale colour plotter. The system is fully linked to the internet.
Laptop computers are available for field work.
