Algae - Source to Treatment - Manual of Water Supply Practices, M57

Finding solutions to drinking water problems caused by algae is an ongoing challenge to the water industry. The ability to mitigate biofouling, taste and odor, and toxins depends on having a clear understanding of these organisms. Water professionals must be familiar with all aspects of solving algae-related problems. These include identifying the problem-causing algal species, implementing monitoring programs, and managing efficient and cost-effective treatment strategies. With hundreds of color illustrations, photographs, and slides, this book details how to identify these organisms and their related toxins. It provides practical strategies for reducing algae and mitigating harmful effects when they do occur. The manual will help to identify algal species, detect cyanotoxins, design an algae monitoring program, control algae at the source, and remove algae in the treatment plant.
