The NSERC Chair in Water Treatment at the University of Waterloo functions as a centre of expertise, with amission to conduct leading edge, fundamentally based, yet practically oriented research on critical issuesrelated to water treatment and quality, and to facilitate interactions between Canadian industry and universities.Our research addresses the short- to medium-term needs of our funding partners, which include municipalities,consultants and industry involved in the treatment and provision of water. Research conducted over the fiveyear period (2018-2022) of the Chair term will address challenges including drastically changing source waterqualities, more stringent regulations and the desire for more sustainable processes all the while ensuring robustprotection of public health. The three major research themes include:A - Successfully Managing Raw Water Quality Changes through Robust Systems, which will develop tools tohelp utilities plan for extreme weather events, spill scenarios, seasonally occurring cyanotoxins blooms, andemerging contaminants such as microplastics.B - Green and Innovative Treatment Processes, which will study biofiltration for cyanotoxin removal,sustainable approaches to control groundwater hardness and manganese using newer technologies, and novel,reusable composite adsorbents for contaminants such as cyanotoxins.C - Understanding Corrosion with a Focus on Lead, which will investigate corrosion control measures tominimize lead release from existing lead pipes and lead-bearing plumbing system components, and also

滑铁卢大学的NSERC水处理教席是一个专业中心，致力于对与水处理和水质相关的关键问题进行前沿、基础和实用的研究，并促进加拿大行业和大学之间的互动。我们的研究解决了我们资金合作伙伴的中短期需求，其中包括参与水处理和供水的市政当局、顾问和行业。在主席任期的五年期间(2018-2022年)进行的研究将应对各种挑战，包括水源水质的急剧变化、更严格的监管以及对更可持续进程的渴望，同时确保强有力的公共卫生保护。三个主要研究主题包括：A-通过稳健系统成功管理原水水质变化，这将开发工具来帮助公用事业公司计划极端天气事件、泄漏情况、季节性发生的氰化毒素暴发和微塑料等新出现的污染物。B-绿色和创新的处理工艺，将研究去除氰化毒素的生物过滤，使用新技术控制地下水硬度和锰的可持续方法，以及对氰化毒素等污染物的新型、可重复使用的复合吸附剂。C-了解腐蚀，重点是铅，将研究腐蚀控制措施，以减少现有铅管和含铅管道系统部件的铅释放，以及
