Abstract

Determines the distribution and densities of Giardia and Cryptosporidium and the concentrations of NOM in watersheds, and evaluates potential sources in field studies. Develops potential source control strategies that will mitigate the concentrations of these contaminants in influent water resulting in potential treatment savings. Ended in 2002. A report of partial findings is available to Foundation subscribers.
