Tuesday, July 15, 2014
Ric Soulis, Water Institute member and Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, was awarded a $140,000-two-year contract by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to develop improved means of determining the hydrologic characteristics of a site. 
In December 2013, the MTO released his interpolation of the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves for across Ontario, which are used to support all highway design and construction projects within the province.
