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水处理主席作为一个专业知识中心，其使命是在与水处理和质量有关的关键问题上进行领先的、基本的、面向实践的研究，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伙伴的短期到中期需求，这些合作伙伴包括市政当局、**顾问和参与水处理和供水的行业。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，包括急剧变化的水源水质、更严格的法规和对更可持续进程的渴望，同时确保有力地**保护公众健康。三个主要研究主题包括：**A -通过强大的系统成功管理原水质量变化，这将开发工具来帮助公用事业公司制定极端天气事件，泄漏情景，季节性发生的蓝藻毒素大量繁殖和新出现的污染物，如微塑料。**B -绿色和创新处理工艺，将研究去除蓝藻毒素的生物过滤，使用新技术控制地下水硬度和锰的可持续方法，以及新型，可重复使用的复合吸附剂，如蓝藻毒素。**C -了解以铅为重点的腐蚀，将研究腐蚀控制措施，以**减少现有铅管道和含铅管道系统组件的铅释放，以及
