Water Institute welcomes new members

We have been fortunate over the past several months to have some amazing new talent join the University of Waterloo and The Water Institute. A sincere welcome and we look forward to opportunities to collaborate!

By Brian Caldwell, Faculty of Engineering.

Managing reservoirs for water quality, not just flood control, could be part of the solution to the growth of toxic algal blooms in the Great Lakes, especially Lake Erie, every summer.

In a major study involving data from Canada and the United States, researchers at the University of Waterloo identified reservoirs on streams and rivers as sources of food for algae at the worst possible time.

The Water Institute is delighted to announce that Dr. Mark Servos, Professor in the Department of Biology and Canada Research Chair in Water Quality Protection, was honoured this past weekend with a major award from the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC). SETAC is a worldwide, professional organization dedicated to environmental integrity and education, with more than 5,000 members over 90 countries.
