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.

这项研究计划将继续达尔豪西大学和哈利法克斯水之间的强有力的合作，这是在第一个五年主席任期（2007-2012年）成立，以及达尔豪西大学，哈利法克斯水，LuminUltra技术有限公司，布雷东角地区市政供水公司以及CBCL Limited，该公司于第二个五年主席任期（2012-2017）成立。此外，AGAT实验室将加入合作伙伴关系，以扩大拟议研究的范围和影响。 拟议的主席任期（2017-2022年）将培养44名高素质人才（HQP），包括5名博士后研究员和13名博士，11名硕士和15名本科生。该研究计划将为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劳动力，正如前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，其总体目标是实现安全饮用水的来源，以水龙头的方法。这三个主题的标题是：（1）饮用水供应中的湖泊恢复;（2）适应处理厂的设计和操作以改变水质;（3）在分配期间保持水质。特别是，主席计划将导致新的突破性信息有关： - 受保护的饮用水流域中藻类的出现; - 开发饮用水生物过程的测量和设计工具; - 提高对腐蚀控制过程的理解，以改善水龙头的水质。
