Mr. Scott Donald
BASc., Civil Engineering, University of Waterloo, 1988
MASc., Civil Engineering (Hydrology), 1990
Mr. Donald is a Water Resources Engineer with Golder Associates and a specialist
in numerical, analytical, and statistical analysis of hydrogeologic processes.
He has eight years of experience applying numerical and analytical techniques
to the solution of groundwater flow and solute transport problems, including
environmental impact assessments in both continuum and fractured geologic media.
Mr. Donald’s fields of expertise include:
- Hydrologic data analysis (aquifer properties, solute transport properties)
- Numerical analysis of groundwater flow and solute transport in continuum
and fractured geologic environments
- Probabilistic analysis of hydrologic processes
- Mine decommissioning and closure planning
Recent projects that Mr. Donald has carried out include the development and
application of large scale 3-D groundwater flow and solute transport models
in support of decommissioning plans and license applications for the uranium
and potash industries in Saskatchewan, Canada, and the completion of probabilistic
solute transport analyses in continuum and fractured geologic environments in
support of site specific risk assessments.
