forWater Network

Led by @uwaterloo and @ualberta, forWater is a pan-Canadian @NSERC_CRSNG Network researching climate change impacts on drinking water from source to tap.

[forWater Network @forWaterNetwork]

🌊 The @UWaterloo is now ranked #1 in Canada & #24 globally for water resources in the 2024 @ShanghaiRanking — a new milestone!
With contributions from the forWater Network, we're tackling global challenges in water security & climate resilience.

forWater researchers and affiliates, Omar Chowdhury, Monica Emelko, Philip Schmidt, and William B. Anderson, publish new research on microplastics. The new approach to measuring thresholds will help inform the health risks posed by microplastics.👇

How much microplastic is too much?


Explore the concept of Threshold Microplastic Concentration (TMC) and how it can help manage the health risks posed by microplastics in our water.

So fantastic to see Harshina Brijlall, #forWaterNetwork member, engaged in science outreach!

[Harshina @harshina_b]

Thank you @SoapboxScience and @WaterlooSci for organizing such a fantastic science outreach event! I had lots of fun sharing my research and also enjoyed listening to everyone’s inspiring research initiatives!

As wildfires increase in intensity and duration, more water quality and our ability to treat water will be under threat.
forWater researchers are focused on understanding strategies that can help impacted communities build resilience.

Some of the young professionals during ST3 week 2022 went whale watching in Campbell River. Enjoy our B roll footage of our adventures! #WorldWildlifeDay #humpbackwhales

[Harshina @harshina_b]

Yesterday was #WorldWildlifeDay.. Throwback to Day 3 of Source to Tap Training Week 2022 in BC where we observed the Western Toad #migration and discussed the importance of protecting and conserving forested #watersheds. Thanks to @tlvirg for the cinematic toad video!
