Emerging contaminants, more stringent regulations for drinking water and greater public expectationsconcerning tap water all contribute to the need for more information and sophisticated management andsurveillance strategies. In addition, the decision-making tools for the surveillance and management of waterquality require innovative and effective approaches that can be easily transferred to end-users. The renewal ofthis Industrial Research Chair (IRC) is a logical continuation of previous research. It will consolidatepartnership-based research that addresses the urgent need for municipalities to incorporate tools to efficientlyprotect and manage drinking water quality. IRC objectives will be achieved through the development of amultidisciplinary research program represented by four complementary themes: 1) Impacts of source waterquality variability in the context of a changing climate; 2) Occurrence of contaminants of emerging concern; 3)Revisiting residual disinfectant management in distribution systems; and 4) Assessing smart tools for waterquality management and surveillance. With a robust research infrastructure including full-equipped laboratoriesand innovating field instruments, the emphasis will be placed on collecting, from source to tap, robustspatio-temporal information on water quality, as well as implementing pioneering management andsurveillance models. In partnership with two municipalities, two industrial partners and a watershed agency,this IRC will contribute directly to the training of a dozen PhD, MSc, post-doctoral fellows and professionals,and several undergraduates over the next five-year period. Anticipated benefits include the reduction of thehealth risks associated with the consumption of tap water and better cost/benefit outcomes of financialinvestments in management, surveillance and monitoring. For industrial partners, the research results willallow them to consolidate their expertise in specific areas considered in the program, strengthen their research& development capacities and improve their competitiveness.

新兴的污染物，对饮用水的更严格的法规以及对自来水进行自来水的公众期望，都有助于对更多信息以及复杂的管理和监视策略的需求。此外，用于监视和管理供水的决策工具需要具有创新和有效的方法，可以轻松地将其转移到最终用户。这项工业研究主席（IRC）的续签是先前研究的逻辑延续。它将巩固基于帕塔尔的研究，该研究迫切需要市政当局结合工具以有效地保护和管理饮用水质量。 IRC目标将通过制定以四个互补主题为代表的amultidegary Research计划来实现：1）在气候变化的背景下，来源渗水变异性的影响； 2）出现新兴关注的污染物； 3）重新访问分配系统中的残余消毒剂管理； 4）评估用于渗水管理和监视的智能工具。通过包括全方位的实验室和创新现场工具在内的强大研究基础设施，将重点放在收集水质到水质的鲁棒范围内信息以及实施开拓性管理和游行模型的情况下。与两个市政当局，两个工业伙伴和一个分水岭机构合作，该IRC将直接为培训十几个博士学位，MSC，博士后研究员和专业人士以及在接下来的五年期间的几个本科生提供贡献。预期的好处包括减少与自来水消费相关的健康风险以及管理，监视和监测中金融投资的成本/收益结果。对于工业伙伴而言，研究结果将使他们巩固其在计划中考虑的特定领域的专业知识，增强其研发能力并提高竞争力。
