Biofiltration-based “green technology” as a techno-ecological nature-based solution for drinking water treatment and climate change resilience
(University of Waterloo, 2022-06-02)While drinking water treatment process design is based on current and anticipated source water quality, changing climate makes it increasingly difficult to anticipate drinking water source quality and treatability. Although ... -
Impact of Operational and Design Parameters on Natural Organic Matter Removal and its Correlation with NDMA Precursor Removal or Formation during Biofiltration in Drinking Water Treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-21)NOM is a complex mixture of organic compounds that are present in all natural waters and is mainly originating from plant and aquatic organism degradation products. Therefore, the specific composition of NOM is site-specific. ... -
Wildfire Impacts on Water Quality and Treatability
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-31)Forests are critical source areas for downstream drinking water supplies in many parts of the world. However, large-scale landscape disturbance by insect infestation and wildfire—exacerbated by warming climate—can have a ...
