Identification and Control of Fungi in Distribution Systems

Abstract

Studies the correlation of fungi, water source, treatment procedures, and nutrient availability to taste and odor events in treated drinking water. Investigates treatment and control strategies. Presents a simple test, based on the presence of indicator organisms, to monitor the presence of problem fungi species and to predict potential taste and odor episodes. Published in 2003.
