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.

佐治亚大学的 PI Chittaranjan Ray 提出的这项国际学生研究体验 (IRES) 提案将支持美国学生参与以河岸过滤 (RBF) 供水系统的成功运行为中心的假设驱动研究。它在欧洲已经使用了一个多世纪，并且在美国也得到了越来越多的使用，因为城市根据 EPA 的规定使用 RBF 来获得去除病原体的过滤积分。美国学生将与 Thomas 领导的德国团队合作。德累斯顿应用科学大学的 Grischek 和杜塞尔多夫自来水厂的 Paul Eckert 在三年的时间里，每年都有四名美国学生与德国研究人员和学生合作，通过为期八周的时间学习河岸过滤 (RBF)。在德国使用 RBF 进行供水的夏季教育和研究活动 该研究的重点是了解 RBF 所涉及的过程以及河流动力学（冲刷和堵塞）和水温变化如何发生。将努力从主要合作机构以及佐治亚大学招收女学生和代表性不足的少数族裔学生。
