Aquanty

Aquanty is a water science and technology firm that specializes in advanced hydrogeological computer modeling, predictive analytics, and real-time forecasting. Founded in 2012 as a spin-off from the University of Waterloo, the company developed the flagship HydroGeoSphere platform, a high-performance, three-dimensional integrated surface and subsurface hydrologic simulation tool. Its technology suite includes HydroClimateSight for decision support, HGS-RealTime for predictive forecasting, and HydroSphereAI, a machine-learning system designed to improve streamflow prediction. By utilizing a physics-based framework that models the entire terrestrial water cycle, the firm provides custom numerical modeling and research services tailored to complex environmental challenges.

These solutions enable government agencies, researchers, and industrial sectors—such as mining, agriculture, and infrastructure—to move from reactive responses to proactive water management and climate resilience planning. Aquanty’s work includes major continental-scale initiatives like Canada1Water, which assesses the impacts of climate change on national water resources, and collaborations with partners like the Canadian Oil Sands Innovation Alliance to evaluate watershed hydrology. Through its specialized expertise, the company helps organizations anticipate water-related risks, including droughts and floods, to support evidence-based decision-making. In 2025, Aquanty was acquired by Rocscience to further advance its leadership in hydroclimate analytics and software solutions.
