This research program will continue the strong collaboration between Dalhousie University and Halifax Water that was established in the first five-year Chair term (2007-2012). In addition, LuminUltra Technologies Ltd., a leading edge Atlantic Canada based company will join the partnership to broaden the scope and impact of the proposed research. Applied research will be conducted at the pilot plant at the J.D. Kline Water Supply Plant. The pilot plant provides a unique platform for conducting research related to low alkalinity, low turbidity and low pH water treatment processes associated with many water sources in Atlantic Canada and beyond. The new Clean Water Technologies Laboratory at Dalhousie University provides state of the art analytical and microbial capabilities to further complement this research. The proposed Chair renewal period (2012-2017) will train 20 highly qualified personnel (HQP), which includes 12 MASc, 8 PhD and 10 undergraduate level students. This research program will provide HQP with unique skills and a broad vision that will facilitate their transition into the Canadian workforce, as evidenced by the success of Alumni from Dr. Gagnon's research group. The proposed Chair renewal program has been divided into three research themes, which have the overall goal of achieving safe drinking water in a sustainable manner with a source to tap approach. The three themes are entitled: 1.Drinking water treatment plant optimization; 2.Maintaining water quality during distribution; and 3.Maximizing the environmental sustainability of drinking water plant operations. To facilitate the proposed research program, the Chair will be guided by a Steering Committee and will pursue active collaboration with experts within Dalhousie University and at the International level. Through this process a robust research and training program will be sustained.

这项研究计划将继续达尔豪西大学和哈利法克斯水之间的强有力的合作 这是在第一个五年主席任期（2007-2012年）设立的。此外，LuminUltra Technologies Ltd. 一家总部位于加拿大大西洋沿岸的领先公司将加入该合作伙伴关系，以扩大合作的范围和影响 提议的研究。应用研究将在J.D.的试验工厂进行。Kline供水厂 中试工厂提供了一个独特的平台，用于进行与低碱度、低浊度和 低pH值水处理工艺与加拿大大西洋及其他地区的许多水源相关。新 达尔豪西大学的清洁水技术实验室提供最先进的分析和 微生物的能力，以进一步补充这项研究。拟议的主席任期（2012-2017年） 将培养20名高素质人才，其中包括12名硕士，8名博士和10名本科生 学生该研究计划将为HQP提供独特的技能和广阔的视野，这将有助于他们 过渡到加拿大的劳动力，从博士毕业生的成功证明。 组 拟议的主席更新计划分为三个研究主题，其总体目标是 通过从源头到龙头的方法，以可持续的方式实现安全饮用水。这三个主题是 标题为： 1.饮用水处理厂的优化; 2.在供水过程中保持水质;以及 3.最大限度地提高饮用水厂运营的环境可持续性。 为了促进拟议的研究计划，主席将在指导委员会的指导下， 与达尔豪西大学和国际一级的专家积极合作。通过这个 一个强有力的研究和培训方案将持续下去。
