The University of Alberta has launched a new interdisciplinary research centre devoted to tackling a range of global challenges related to water.
Based in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the centre will draw on expertise across faculties to examine problems of water supply, demand, treatment, reuse and infrastructure. The launch follows decades of world-leading research at the U of A exploring water-related topics, says director Mohamed Gamal El-Din.
"This could put us on the national and international map, highlighting the research we've been doing for years and putting us in contact with other centres we might end up collaborating with."
