Effects of Lake Erie Water Quality Changes on Disinfection Byproduct Formation

Abstract

This purpose of this project was to understand the relationships between Lake Erie algal population, dissolved organic matter, and DBP formation and if water quality can be attributed to climate change. The work documents how water quality changes can impact treated drinking water quality and helps to better prepare water agencies for such changes. Tailored Collaboration partner: City of Cleveland Division of Water. Published in 2013.
