Exploring Solutions for Sustainable Rural Drinking Water Systems

Our four interns and six internships will be invaluable components in the research being conducted. These interns will be collecting primary data for the project and will be working directly with industry partners to test and develop feasible solutions to community drinking water problems. Our parter organizations will directly benefit from our internships, as our interns will be providing our partners wth outside marketing with their case study reports. Furthermore, we plan to test certain asset management and GIS mapping technologies with municipalities, which will provide feedback and analysis on our partner's products. As Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador as well as Professional Municipal Administrators are both research partners on this project, industry partners will have direct contact with their target market. Overall, our internships will also positively increase our industry partner's public image and will help our partners meet their commitments towards corporate responsibility.
