 | Investigating the applicability of ecological informatics modelling algal blooms in hypertrophic reservoirs of South Africa |
| Expanded Title: | Potable drinking water facilities often wait for problems to occur before they initiate interventions to protect users from exposure to potentially toxic events in hypertrophic impoundments. This lack of decision support tools to managers, to be prepared to managing cyanobacteria and algae bloom events, has been a problem throughout South Africa and especially at smaller drinking water facilities. The Ecological Society of America has decided in
2004 that uniformity and training in such tools, namely ecological informatics, is one of the main aims of the society. |
