- Title
Vertical Profiling Safeguards Drinking Water and Sheds Light on Cyanohacteria.
- Authors
Werblow, Steve
- Abstract
The article focuses on the vertical profiling data that safeguards three drinking water reservoirs in North Carolina. The Center for Applied Aquatic Ecology (CAAE) teamed up with the cities of Raleigh and High Point to explore key reservoirs for cyanotoxins and cyanobacteria or blue-green algae. These contaminants listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA's) candidate contaminant lists are capable of introducing toxins and affecting water taste and odor. The in situ data and collected measurements derived from continuous water quality monitoring show insights about how cyanobacteria are affected by weather and land use.
