More stringent regulations for monitoring and protecting source water in water treatment operations and forwater delivered by distribution systems create a need for more information about drinking water quality.Maintaining safe microbiological water without compromising the chemical water quality is one of the biggestchallenges facing the drinking water industry. This challenge is all the more important given the increasingvulnerability and contamination of water sources, the difficulty of operating treatment plants in high sourcewater quality variability contexts, and the complexity of distribution networks. This Alliance Grant is complementary to the Industrial Research Chair (IRC-M. J. Rodriguez) recently renewed for the next five years. The Alliance grant will support the development of methods and tools needed for the assessment and monitoring of drinking water quality from source to tap.The research projects respond to the specific research and development needs of partners over the next five years. It presents a multidisciplinary research program with three themes: 1) Development of surrogates for water quality assessment; 2) Source tracking and emerging methods for microbiological water quality; and 3) Impacts of infrastructure and hydraulics on drinking water quality. The research requires the expertise of team members in water quality monitoring and assessment, water treatment processes, chemical and microbiological water quality, urban water hydraulics and water quality modelling. This Alliance partnership is designed to promote the training of highly-qualified personnel (HQP) through master's and doctoral theses, and also provides opportunities for postdoctoral and undergraduate students. The results are intended for use by our partners during planning and routine operational tasks. Benefits also include better cost/benefit outcomes of financial investments in assessment and monitoring of water quality. It is expected that outcomes of this Alliance proposal will strengthen Canada's position worldwide in the development of decision-making tools for drinking water quality.

更严格的法规，用于监测和保护水处理操作中的源水和分配系统交付的劳动水中，需要更多有关饮用水质量的信息。在不损害化学水质量的情况下，确保安全的微生物水质量是面临饮用水行业的最大挑战之一。鉴于水源的增加和污染，高源水质质量可变性环境中操作治疗厂的难度以及分配网络的复杂性，这一挑战更为重要。这项联盟赠款与工业研究主席（IRC-M。J。Rodriguez）的互​​补介绍了未来五年。联盟赠款将支持开发评估和监视饮用水质量从来源到点击的方法和工具。研究项目在未来五年内响应合作伙伴的特定研究和发展需求。它提出了一项具有三个主题的多学科研究计划：1）替代水质评估的替代物； 2）微生物水质的来源跟踪和新兴方法； 3）基础设施和液压药对饮用水质量的影响。该研究需要团队成员在水质监测和评估，水处理过程，化学和微生物水质，城市水液压和水质建模方面的专业知识。该联盟合作伙伴关系旨在通过硕士和博士学位促进培训高度合格的人员（HQP），还为博士后和本科生提供了机会。结果旨在在计划和常规操作任务中使用我们的合作伙伴。收益还包括在评估和监测水质方面的金融投资的更好的成本/收益结果。可以预期，该联盟提案的成果将加强加拿大在开发饮用水质量决策工具方面的立场。
