Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Dalhousie University
$120,000.00
Wastewater Treatment Technology and Surveillance
FY 2024-25
Summary
Municipal wastewater is one of the largest sources of pollution to surface water in Canada. Sustainable wastewater treatment involves water reclamation and resource recovery and is essential to one health but is challenged by aging infrastructure, climate change, energy costs, and an evolving regulatory landscape. This program will address these challenges by: (i) designing process assessment tools to drive sustainable wastewater treatment; (ii) advancing innovative, sustainable wastewater treatment strategies; and (iii) establishing adaptable wastewater surveillance approaches for one health. Results will contribute to the protection of one health and the sustainability of wastewater treatment processes.
