2015年5月25-26日，在西南大学资源环境学院召开了由西南大学资源环境学院、中加三峡水域科学研究中心（China-Canada Three Gorges Water Science Centre,CCTW,www.cctwcq.com）主办的中加水科学国际学术交流会。与会人员有加拿大滑铁卢大学水中心（Water Institute, University of Waterloo）、加拿大驻重庆总领事馆领事、重庆市科学技术研究院、清华大学、西大科技处、西大国际合作交流处的领导和专家，以及西南大学资源环境学院教职员工。西大资源环境学院院长谢德体教授致欢迎辞，西南大学国际合作交流处李航副处长、加拿大驻重庆总领事馆领事Perdue先生，以及滑铁卢大学水中心负责人Gillham博士分别致开幕辞。会议中，中加双方的专家学者就各自在水生态和水处理方面的科研成果进行了交流，并就未来CCTW与滑铁卢大学的进一步国际合作展开了讨论。
中加三峡水域科学研究中心是重庆市国际科技合作示范基地，由西南大学资源环境学院、加拿大温莎大学（Universityof Windsor）和重庆市科学技术研究院联合共建的“中加三峡水域科学研究中心”。中心以开放的机制建成联合研究团队，对三峡水域的水资源利用、水土保护等展开深入研究。
加拿大滑铁卢大学的水中心是世界上在研究水体生态、水模型以及地下水方面首屈一指的著名机构。此次会议滑铁卢大学水中心代表团中有加拿大卓越首席科学家Philippe Van Cappellen 博士、首席科学家William D. Taylor 博士，以及其他8位知名学者。
代表团成员Tolson 博士还在5月26日上午为资源环境学院师生做讲座，介绍了由他修改的DDS水模型的使用。
