Exploring the feasibility for a sector-specific Wastewater Management System Standard (WWMSS) for the municipal and non-municipal wastewater systems sector.

The objective of this research is to develop an Ontario-based Wastewater Management Standard (WWMS), which is aligned with the currently statutorily required Ontario Drinking Water Management Standard (DWQMS) and with ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. This proposed research will bring much needed standardization for the quality and environmental management for municipal and non-municipal wastewater […]

Modélisation numérique de l’écoulement diphasique au sein d’une turbine hydroélectrique aérante

La simulation numérique d’écoulements diphasiques air-eau au sein de turbines hydroélectriques aérantes sera effectuée. Le premier objectif est de déterminer la distribution de taux de vide dans l’aspirateur afin de qualifier ultérieurement le taux d’oxygénation de l’eau turbinée. Le deuxième objectif est de déterminer le rendement de la turbine après ajout de dispositifs aérants. Les […]

Learning from the river: improving the resilience and ecological value of tidal marsh creation projects in Pacific Northwest estuaries

The tidal marshes of the Fraser River Estuary support numerous species, including juvenile salmon, and offer benefits to nearby communities. To counteract marsh losses, over 100 tidal marshes have been constructed in the estuary from the 1980s to present. Yet after 40 years, key knowledge gaps still limit our confidence in their ability to support […]
