This International Research Experience for Students (IRES) proposal from PI Chittaranjan Ray of the University of Georgia will support U.S. students' participation in hypothesis-driven research centered on successful operation of riverbank filtration (RBF) systems for water supply. RBF has been practiced for over a century in Europe, and it is being used more often in the U.S. as cities use RBF to receive filtration credits for pathogen removal under EPA regulations. The U.S. students will collaborate with German teams led by Thomas Grischek of the University of Applied Sciences in Dresden and Paul Eckert of the Düsseldorf Waterworks. In each year over a three year period, four American students, working with German researchers and students, will learn about riverbank filtration (RBF) through an eight-week summer education and research activity in Germany where RBF is used for water supply. The key focus of the study will be on gaining an understanding of the processes involved in RBF and how river dynamics (scouring and clogging) and water temperature changes can affect the quality and quantity of water pumped. Recruitment efforts will be made to recruit female students and under-represented minority students from key collaborating institutions as well as from the University of Georgia.

佐治亚大学Pi Chittaranjan Ray的学生（IRES）的国际研究经验将支持美国学生参与以河流供应成功运营（RBF）成功运行的假设驱动的研究。 RBF在欧洲实行了一个多世纪的实践，在美国，它在美国经常使用，因为城市使用RBF在EPA法规下接受过滤信用来清除病原体。美国学生将与由德累斯顿应用科学大学的托马斯·格里切克（Thomas Grischek）和杜塞尔多夫水厂的保罗·埃克特（Paul Eckert）合作。在三年内，每年，有四名美国学生与德国研究人员和学生一起工作，将通过在德国进行八周的夏季教育和研究活动来了解Riverbank过滤（RBF），其中RBF用于供水。该研究的重点将是了解RBF涉及的过程以及河流动力学（搜查和杂物）和水温变化如何影响泵送水的质量和数量。招聘工作将是为了招募来自主要合作机构以及佐治亚大学的女学生和代表性不足的少数族裔学生。
