Widespread disturbance of watersheds and a warming climate have enhanced the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) that present direct threats to human health. Comprehensive, interdisciplinary management strategies are needed from the watershed to the tap to best protect drinking water from HAB threats. This introductory webinar for the seminar series will begin with short […]
Best Management Practices in the watershed are crucial to limiting external nutrient loading into our drinking water sources. The first presentation will discuss how watershed development impacts the water quality, hydrology and biota of surface water reservoirs. The second presentation will be an assessment of how Florida is approaching load reductions from agricultural areas. Information […]
With the increasing occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs), and no silver-bullet solution, development of innovative management practices and technology has come to the forefront. The first presentation will review the structure of thermal stratification and mechanisms of internal loading of anaerobic respiration products and soluble reactive phosphorus that stimulates cyanobacteria blooms. The second presentation […]
As part of comprehensive strategies to protect drinking water, direct control of harmful algae through various integrated strategies can reduce their density at drinking water intakes and decrease pressure on treatment plants to remove these organisms and their toxins. The first presentation by Dr. West Bishop will review the use of USEPA-registered algaecides in rapid […]
Toxin-producing cyanobacteria blooms are a growing concern for water utilities that use surface water supplies across the country. To make informed decisions about how to limit exposure to cyanotoxins, water utilities need to understand (1) cyanotoxins occur; (2) their presence in a given water source, (3) management strategies to reduce cyanotoxins in source waters, and […]
