The NSERC Chair in Water Treatment at the University of Waterloo functions as a centre of expertise, with a**mission to conduct leading edge, fundamentally based, yet practically oriented research on critical issues**related 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 five**year period (2018-2022) of the Chair term will address challenges including drastically changing source water**qualities, more stringent regulations and the desire for more sustainable processes all the while ensuring robust**protection of public health. The three major research themes include:**A - Successfully Managing Raw Water Quality Changes through Robust Systems, which will develop tools to**help utilities plan for extreme weather events, spill scenarios, seasonally occurring cyanotoxins blooms, and**emerging 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 to**minimize lead release from existing lead pipes and lead-bearing plumbing system components, and also

滑铁卢大学的 NSERC 水处理主席作为专业中心，致力于对与水处理和质量相关的关键问题**进行前沿、基础性、实用性的研究，并促进加拿大工业界和大学之间的互动。**我们的研究解决了我们的资助合作伙伴的中短期需求，其中包括市政当局、**参与水处理和提供的顾问和工业界。 水。在主席任期的五年（2018-2022）期间进行的研究将解决挑战，包括彻底改变水源水质、更严格的法规以及对更可持续流程的渴望，同时确保强有力的**保护公众健康。三个主要研究主题包括：**A - 通过稳健的系统成功管理原水质量变化，该项目将开发工具来**帮助公用事业公司针对极端天气事件、泄漏情况、季节性发生的蓝藻毒素爆发和**微塑料等新兴污染物进行规划。**B - 绿色和创新的处理工艺，将研究去除蓝藻毒素的生物过滤，**可持续的控制方法 使用更新的技术和新颖的、**可重复使用的复合吸附剂来检测地下水硬度和锰，以去除蓝藻毒素等污染物。**C - 了解以铅为重点的腐蚀，它将研究腐蚀控制措施，以最大限度地减少现有铅管和含铅管道系统组件中的铅释放，以及
