Thank you, Mr. Chair
Thank you to all the witnesses.
Dr. Parker, it's wonderful to see you at our committee. Thank you for taking the time to be with us.
I have a few questions for you. We've known each other for many years now—you can almost say decades. The work that you've done on our water cluster in Guelph—Guelph having its source water coming from the ground instead of from the rivers or lakes—and the importance of groundwater.... Now that you have the Morwick G360 Groundwater Research Institute, you're doing a lot of work internationally. I'm thinking of the work in the Netherlands around the filtering of groundwater and around using groundwater in heat exchange systems for ground-source geothermal heat pumps in shallow or deep wells.
We're focusing on water as something we consume. Could you maybe comment on water as another way we can heat and cool buildings, and on possibly using groundwater in a different way in terms of filtering the systems or improving our management of groundwater?
