Participants of the CWRA 2025-2026 Student Design Competition (SDC) tackled a real-world water problem, working in teams to develop innovative solutions. The aim of the competition is to promote practical problem-solving skills, teamwork, and professional development among students from various regions across Canada.

The annual competition, led by CWRA SYP National and CSHS, encourages students to apply their academic knowledge to practical, real-world challenges, fostering creativity and collaboration.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2025-2026 Student Design Competition! This year’s competition was incredibly close, with many impressive submissions showcasing the creativity, innovation, and dedication of all participants.
