Algae and Other Interference Organisms in Water Supplies of California
Although many of the streams in California have a high turbidity that would tend to keep the growth of algae to a minimum, the rapidly increasing numbers of impoundment and storage reservoirs, as well as irrigation ditches and open aqueducts, are providing environments for the abundant growth of both planktonic and attached algae. The article lists the different kinds of algae present in California water sources, along with reservoir problems, aquatic animals, physicochemical changes, tastes and odors, treatment plant problems, infestations in distribution systems, standards for high quality water, detection of plankton, algicides for reservoirs, activated carbon, selective draft, reservoir and canal covers, control of weeds, watershed control, control by filtration, control of organisms in distribution systems, and toxic algae.
