I/UCRC for Water Quality

该奖项为亚利桑那大学工业/大学水质合作研究提供了延续。 该中心研究影响地表和地下沃茨（包括饮用水）质量的物理、化学和微生物过程。 优质饮用水被定义为“具有可接受的纯度，味道和气味特征的水，这对人类健康和福利是安全的。“该中心的总体目标是：1）改善科学知识的流动，影响水质，从亚利桑那大学到行业，政府机构和公众; 2）发展对水质研究的支持; 3）为研究生提供广泛的行业视角; 4）告知和教育公众关于水质问题;研究的性质集中在以下六个领域：水安全;商业工业污染的命运和补救;影响水质的农用化学品和实践;城市废物处理和再利用;采矿;饮用水质量。

This award provides a continuation for the University of Arizona Industry/University Cooperative Research for Water Quality. The center investigates physical, chemical and microbial processes that affect the quality of surface and subsurface waters including potable supplies. Good quality drinking water is defined as "water with acceptable purity, taste, and odor characteristics, which is safe with respect to human health and welfare." The overall goals of the Center are: 1) to improve the flow of scientific knowledge that affects water quality, from the University of Arizona to industry, government agencies, and the general public; 2) to develop support for water quality research; 3) to provide graduate students with a broad industry perspective; 4) to inform and educate the public regarding water quality issues; and 5) to ultimately achieve self-sufficiency by bonding with long-term industry and government partners.The nature of the research has focused on the following six areas: Water Security; Fate and Remediation of Commercial Industrial Contamination; Agrochemical Products and Practices that Influence Water Quality; Municipal Waste Treatment and Reuse; Mining; and Potable Water Quality.
