Abstract

This project produced a suite of management and treatment strategies that water suppliers can apply to address anticipated changes in source water quantity and quality due to climate change. The project focused on climate change impacts in central Ohio and the eastern portion of the Midwest, but the approach and considerations from this project have broad applications throughout the region and the country. Tailored collaboration partner: City of Columbus Division of Power and Water.
