The University of Guelph is raising funds to help create the Morwick Groundwater Research Centre to house the institute. The space will accommodate modern labs, teaching and outreach rooms, and an active borehole to access groundwater right on site. Proud graduate, Ted Morwick gave $5M, along with other advocates to jointly raise over $7M to support the initiative and now the U of G is looking for an additional $2M to complete the project.

Learn more about the importance of groundwater and help the Morwick G360 achieve its goal.
