Research interests

Professor Rousseau’s research ranges from the physics of hydrological processes to the development of software to assist in the forecast, management, and analysis of watershed-scale water resources.

There is growing demand for hydrological modelling tools that can be used to address water management problems such as forecasting inflows to reservoirs for hydropower planning, operating public dams to manage seasonal floods, managing contamination risks to drinking water sources, or evaluating agricultural clean-up policies concerning watershed water in a framework of sustainable development. To address these needs, analysts and decision-makers need robust tools and clear guidance on their capabilities and scope. At the same time, these tools need to be improved by including simulation models of hydrological processes and efficient algorithms for the physiographic characterization of watersheds.

The goal of Professor Rousseau’s team is to meet this growing demand. They are working to improve the PHYSITEL and HYDROTEL hydrological modelling tools and the GIBSI decision support system for integrated watershed management. The issues addressed by their research are in line with the strategic axes of the Eau Terre Environnement Research Centre: (i) environmental risks related to natural hazards and contamination, (ii) impacts of and adaptation to climate change and extreme events, and (iii) integrated management of water and mineral resources and land use planning. Other issues addressed reflect future challenges: northern hydrology (wetland modelling), water management in Quebec (e.g., water use coefficients), and regional and municipal water management (e.g., watershed organisms and watershed management plan assessment, assessment of the biological integrity of water bodies, assessment of the environmental benefits of beneficial management practices, determination of contamination risks for drinking water sources).
