Improved understanding, which leads to improved operation, will result from the research conducted on kinetic parameter experiments such as simulated drinking water treatment plant designs using granular activated carbon adsorption. More advanced studies could include piloting of soil remediation through farming techniques where humidity, light and temperature all play an important function. Biogrowth studies will include investigations into how phosphorous up-take and release in lakes affect water quality. These biogrowth studies help to developed models to predict the impacts that industrial/natural sources of pollutants have on lakes, how they effect the water quality and what types of remediation may have the greatest impact on improving this water quality.
