Cyanobacteria and Drinking Water
Harmful algal blooms associated with cyanobacteria are a growing area of concern for drinking water supplies in Canada. This webinar will provide the highlights of a recent evidence review undertaken by the NCCEH (Cyanobacteria and Drinking Water: Occurrence, risks, management and knowledge gaps for public health), and a presentation by the Walkerton Clean Water Centre on challenges and knowledge gaps for treating cyanobacteria in small drinking water system. This will include the results of a pilot testing project investigating the effect of small drinking water treatment technologies on the removal of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins.
