Hydrological and Ecohydrological Modeling Services

The contract seeks to develop advanced quantitative models to evaluate water movement, storage, and ecohydrological dynamics across watersheds in Ontario, with a focus on understanding the cumulative environmental impacts of development activities. The work requires sophisticated hydrological modeling to simulate how natural and anthropogenic changes affect water systems, including shifts in flow patterns, groundwater recharge, and ecosystem responses. Models must integrate data from multiple sources to capture spatial and temporal variability, ensuring robust analysis of watershed-scale processes under current and future land-use scenarios. The services are to be delivered as a subcontract under the authority of the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada, with all work focused on supporting federal environmental assessments. The opportunity is open for responses until June 12, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 541620 for scientific and technical consulting services. Performance will take place across Ontario, with no specific city designated in the place of performance, indicating the scope spans multiple regions. The contract aims to inform policy and decision-making by providing scientifically rigorous tools to assess environmental risks associated with development, particularly in relation to water resources and ecological integrity.
