Research Overview
The overall objective of the forWater Network is to provide new knowledge and innovation to protect drinking water from source to tap in a changing climate. Targeting transfer of knowledge to support communities to adapt to increased risks associated with changing climatic trends and natural disturbances. Research specifically develops knowledge to support:
The forWater Network is generating new knowledge and tools for cumulative watershed effects assessment, source water protection, and enhanced water treatability in four key areas.
- Public policy for forest management and source water protection
- Source water protection technology development
- Utility-specific drinking water safety plans and source water protection plans
- Development of best management practices for forest management
