KEVIN DEVITO: <\/strong><em>First of all that it&#8217;s really quite different from other parts of Canada, driven mostly by the climate. It&#8217;s sub-humid, as well as the deep glacial deposits that we have here really increase storage. So storage of water is very important. And evapotranspiration by the vegetation has a large control on the hydrology in this landscape. So when you are looking at how water flows through this landscape you need to understand where the storage is a lot less or a lot more to understand the sink and the storage of water through this landscape. And what we&#8217;re starting to realize now is that most forested areas, will be a sink for water because of the high demand by vegetation in an area that&#8217;s sub-humid or in a deficit. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kevin Devito presented his research at a recent workshop on oil sands reclamation. <\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks today to<strong> Syncrude Canada Ltd<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>I&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02011-05-12<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For more than a decade, <strong>Dr. Kevin Devito <\/strong>has researched the unique hydrology of the boreal forest.
