Dr. Hipel is the 2012 recipient of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)Eminent Scientist Award. This award is bestowed upon "foreign researchers, who possess a record of excellent research achievements and who are mentors and leaders in their respective fields" so they can visit Japan. The goal of the visit is to directly associate with younger Japanese researchers to provide mentorship and to stimulate and inspire them to greater research achievements. This award is usually granted to three or four scientists per year. Of the seven granted in the last two years, six were to Nobel Prize laureates.
In late 2011, Dr. Hipel was awarded the 2011 Sir John William Dawson Medal by the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) for important and sustained contributions in interdisciplinary research.
In recognition and acknowledgement of his eminence in water resources science and technology, Dr. Hipel was elected as an Honorary Member of the American Water Resources Association (AWRA) in the fall of 2011.
