NSERC/Halifax Regional Water Commission Industrial Research Chair in Water Quality and Treatment

该研究计划将继续达尔豪斯大学和哈利法克斯水建立在第一个五年主席任期（2007-2012）之间的强大合作，以及达尔豪斯大学，哈利法克斯水，LuminUltra技术有限公司，布雷顿角地区市政水务公司，MANTECH公司和CBCL有限公司建立在第二个五年主席任期（2012-2017）之间的合作。此外，AGAT实验室将加入该伙伴关系，以扩大拟议研究的范围和影响。****计划主席任期（2017-2022）将培养44名高素质人才（HQP），其中博士后5名，博士13名，硕士11名，本科生15名。这个研究项目将为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市场，正如前任主席任期校友的成功所证明的那样。****拟议的主席计划分为三个研究主题，其总体目标是通过从源头到水龙头的方法实现安全饮用水。这三个主题的题目是：(1)饮用水供应中的湖泊恢复；(2)污水处理厂设计与运行适应水质变化；(3)在分配过程中保持水质。特别是，主席计划将带来以下方面的新突破信息：****-受保护饮用水流域的藻类发生情况；***-开发饮用水中生物过程的测量和设计工具；**-提高对腐蚀控制过程的理解，以改善自来水质量。********

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), and collaboration among Dalhousie University, Halifax Water, LuminUltra Technologies Ltd., Cape Breton Regional Municipality Water Utility, MANTECH, INC. and CBCL Limited that was established in the second five-year Chair term (2012-2017). In addition, AGAT Laboratories will join the partnership to broaden the scope and impact of the proposed research.****The proposed Chair term (2017-2022) will train 44 highly qualified personnel (HQP), including five postdoctoral fellows and 13 PhD, 11 MASc, and 15 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 previous Chair terms. ****The proposed Chair program is divided into three research themes, which have the overall goal of achieving safe drinking water with a source-to-tap approach. The three themes are entitled: (1) Lake Recovery in Drinking Water Supplies; (2) Adaptation of Treatment Plant Design and Operation for Changing Water Quality; and (3) Maintaining Water Quality During Distribution. In particular, the Chair program will lead to new breakthrough information related to:****- Algal occurrence in protected drinking water watersheds;***- Development of measurement and design tools for biological processes in drinking water;**- Improved understanding of corrosion control processes for improved water quality at the tap.********
