The increase in wastewater effluent discharge to freshwater systems coinciding with urban population growth**can have many undesirable impacts on these ecosystems. One solution is to use advanced wastewater treatment**to reduce chemical loading in the effluent, which can potentially have the added benefit of yielding lower**greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere from receiving systems. This innovative work will, for the first**time, seek to quantify the potential reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that can occur under improved water**quality conditions associated with the recent upgrade to the Regina wastewater treatment plant. With growing**adoption of carbon markets worldwide and increasing pressure to meet emissions targets in Canada, this**research will identify the potential to leverage funding for advanced wastewater treatment via carbon markets.

随着城市人口的增长，向淡水系统排放的废水增加**可能对这些生态系统产生许多不良影响。一种解决方案是使用先进的废水处理**来减少废水中的化学物质负荷，这可能还有一个额外的好处，即减少接收系统向大气排放的温室气体。这项创新工作将首次寻求量化在改善水质条件下可能发生的温室气体排放的潜在减少，这与最近对里贾纳污水处理厂的升级有关。随着全球碳市场的日益普及，以及加拿大实现排放目标的压力越来越大，本研究将确定通过碳市场为高级废水处理提供资金的潜力。
