Utility Responses to Cyanobacterial/Cyanotoxin Events: Case Studies and Lessons Learned
Abstract
This project will gather and present case studies illustrating drinking water utility experiences with, and responses to, cyanobacterial and cyanotoxin events. The information gathered through the case studies will be synthesized into short, actionable steps utilities can take to both help prevent these events and address them when they occur. A user-friendly, intereactive web tool will be developed to enable utilities to provide effective and quick responses to cyanobacterial and cyanotoxin events.
Project Updates
Reporting Period: December 2021 – April 2022. The research team interviewed individual participating utilities remotely, using Teams to explore case study details and expand on survey responses.
Reporting Period: December 2020 РMarch 2021. During this project period, the planned in-person World Caf̩ workshop was replaced by in-depth video interviews with the participating utilities.
Reporting Period: June 1, 2019 – September 1, 2020. During this period, the team created an in-depth survey instrument and held follow up interviews with participating utilities.
