forWater Research

The forWater Network contributes to critical new knowledge and technologies needed to adapt to climate change and to build resilient, adaptive communities. 
​
  • Linking source water quality to water treatability and downstream effects
  • Improving integrated management from source to tap
  • Testing "green infrastructure", like sand filtration, as a new way to protect drinking water at the source
forWater is featured in Climate Atlas of Canada's video - Quality Control: Wildfire, Water, and our Health
