Abstract

Examines which watershed management practices best protect raw water supplies and documents installation, operation, and management costs of those judged technically and economically feasible for controlling THM precursors, general organics, iron, manganese, dissolved gases, algae, and algae nutrients. Also includes guidelines to help utility managers make watershed management decisions. Published in 1991.
