In addition, AGAT Laboratories will join the partnership to broaden the scope and impact of the proposed research._x000D_
_x000D_
The proposed Chair term (2017-2022) will train 44 highly qualified personnel (HQP), including five postdoctoral fellows and 13 PhD, 11 MASc, and 15 undergraduate-level students. This research program will provide HQP with unique skills and a broad vision that will facilitate their transition into the Canadian workforce, as evidenced by the success of alumni from previous Chair terms. _x000D_

The proposed Chair program is divided into three research themes, which have the overall goal of achieving safe drinking water with a source-to-tap approach. The three themes are entitled: (1) Lake Recovery in Drinking Water Supplies; (2) Adaptation of Treatment Plant Design and Operation for Changing Water Quality; and (3) Maintaining Water Quality During Distribution. In particular, the Chair program will lead to new breakthrough information related to:_x000D_
_x000D_
- Algal occurrence in protected drinking water watersheds;
_x000D_
- Development of measurement and design tools for biological processes in drinking water;_x000D_
- Improved understanding of corrosion control processes for improved water quality at the tap._x000D_
