With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, Aquanty is making real-time flood forecasting a reality by adding machine learning to its HydroGeoSphere platform. As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme weather, flood forecasting is becoming increasingly important. But creating accurate predictions has never been easy, and shifting precipitation [...]
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, ElectroKinetic Solutions Inc. is revolutionizing tailings management within the mining industry through its pioneering dewatering technology. Tailings are a massive challenge for the mining industry. Decades are required for suspended particles to settle and form a slurry, preventing water reuse. Companies are forced to [...]
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, Digital Water Solutions is reshaping water distribution network management with their groundbreaking hydrant.AI technology. Today, many communities lose up to half of the drinking water they treat due to leaks in their distribution networks. To help tackle the problem, Digital Water Solutions (DWS) developed [...]
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, Dynamita North America is revolutionizing the integration of sewer systems and wastewater treatment plants through the implementation of digital twins. It’s time to stop thinking of sewer systems and wastewater treatment plants as two separate siloes. After all, what happens in the sewers has [...]
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, A.U.G. Signals is addressing the impact of toxic tire chemicals in waterways by adapting their proven TRITON system As vehicles drive along, their tires shed particles of rubber and plastic tire. Typically, they’re tiny. But with more than a billion cars in the world, [...]
Dear Members, Partners, and Friends of the Ontario Water Consortium, As 2023 winds down, we take pride in celebrating the strides taken and the milestones achieved by the Ontario Water Consortium.

On December 4th, 2023, the Ontario Water Consortium (OWC) and Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) played host to a Wastewater Process Intensification Workshop, with generous sponsorship from Veolia Water Technologies. This gathering was the second in a series and was designed to address the pressing challenges brought about by population and employment growth in Ontario [...]
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, Bishop Water is advancing its award-winning BioCord Reactor technology, aiming to further optimize wastewater treatment efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Bishop Water’s BioCord Reactor does an impressive job removing nutrients from wastewater. Each 2m x 2m x 2m unit is [...]
Canada’s water utility sector came alive from November 12-15, as leaders from academia, enterprise, and municipalities converged at the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association's National Water and Wastewater Conference. This event, hosted at the Sheraton Fallsview in Niagara Falls, Ontario, aimed to bridge the gap between these three essential pillars in the pursuit of innovative [...]
With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s Water Industry Growth Program, USP Technologies Canada is refining their innovative "physical twin" model for sewer networks, aiming to optimize wastewater treatment processes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Beneath city streets run hundreds of kilometres of sewers. It’s easy to think of them simply as pipes, moving sewage [...]
