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

滑铁卢大学水处理 NSERC 主席作为一个专业中心，致力于就与水处理和质量相关的关键问题开展前沿、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。我们的研究满足我们的资助合作伙伴的中短期需求，其中包括参与水处理和供应的市政当局、顾问和工业界。主席任期五年（2018-2022）期间进行的研究将应对各种挑战，包括水源水质的急剧变化、更严格的法规以及对更可持续流程的渴望，同时确保有力地保护公众健康。三大研究主题包括：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以及微塑料等新兴污染物制定计划。B - 绿色和创新处理工艺，将研究去除蓝藻毒素的生物过滤、控制地下水硬度和锰的可持续方法 使用更新的技术和新颖的、可重复使用的复合吸附剂来去除氰毒素等污染物。C - 以铅为中心的理解腐蚀，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，并且
