The impacts of climate change on source and receiving water quality are estimated to be profound. Climate change adaptation requires an anticipatory reaction across the water community to address design approaches to mitigate environmental damage of wastewater discharge and to manage water quality and water and wastewater treatment costs into the future. The consideration of climate change in design is only recently gaining the attention of the water and wastewater community. For that reason, we have established a strong partnership with three municipalities and five industrial organizations to work with on improving water and wastewater quality under climate change pressures through advancing science and technology. Specifically, our team has organized the research program into three themes: A. Development of Robust Monitoring Methods & Technologies; B. Climate-Adaptive Technologies for Safe Water at the Tap; and C. Climate Conscious Technologies for Wastewater Management.To accomplish these goals, the team will be led by Dr. Graham Gagnon and Dr. Amina Stoddart who have led international impact with their water and wastewater research activities throughout their careers. Over the next 5-years, the team anticipates to have impact on the Partner Organizations and broadly to the water community through 26 uniquely defined work packages that will see 38 undergraduate students, 32 graduate students (20 MASc & 12 PhD) and nine postdoctoral fellows trained. The research outcomes will be disseminated to our Partner Organizations via regular meetings, online webinars, and data dashboards. In addition, based on the tracks records of the Research Team and the Partner Organizations, the expected outcomes of this five-year research program will help Canada to be well positioned to continue industrial and economic leadership in the water sector, while adapting to increased pressures from climate change.

气候变化对来源和接收水质的影响估计是深远的。气候变化适应需要在整个水社区中产生预期的反应，以解决减轻废水排放环境损害的设计方法，并管理水质和水以及未来的废水处理成本。对设计气候变化的考虑直到最近才引起水和废水社区的关注。因此，我们已经与三个市政当局和五个工业组织建立了牢固的合作伙伴关系，以通过推进科学和技术来改善气候变化压力下的水和废水质量。具体来说，我们的团队将研究计划组织为三个主题：A。开发强大的监测方法和技术； B.水龙头上安全水的气候自适应技术；和C. C.气候认识的废水管理技术。为了实现这些目标，该团队将由Graham Gagnon博士和Amina Stoddart博士领导，他们在整个职业生涯中都以水和废水研究活动领导了国际影响力。在接下来的5年中，该团队预计将通过26个独特的工作包对合作伙伴组织产生影响，并广泛地对水社区产生影响，这些工作包将有38名本科生，32名研究生（20名MASC＆12 Phd）和9个受过培训的博士后家伙。研究成果将通过常规会议，在线网络研讨会和数据仪表板传播给我们的合作伙伴组织。此外，根据研究团队和合作伙伴组织的轨道记录，该五年研究计划的预期成果将有助于加拿大在水领域的工业和经济领导地位，同时适应气候变化的压力。
