UAlberta launches Water Research Centre with $1.4M donation from EPCOR

The University of Alberta is launching a new research centre focused on water and wastewater services through a $1.4M contribution from EPCOR. The Water Research Centre (WRC) will collaborate with industry partners, government, and Indigenous partners to address global water challenges such as water supply and demand, treatment and reuse, and infrastructure. In addition to the donation, EPCOR will provide in-kind support such as water and wastewater samples and access to infrastructure. “Together, we can protect this essential resource and keep providing safe, reliable and sustainable water and wastewater services – today and for generations to come,” said EPCOR President John Elford.
