Abstract

For algae-induced odors, the most effective control approach is to manage the growth of odor-producing algae at the source. Fundamentally, reducing nutrient inputs into lakes and reservoirs is critical for controlling algae growth. However, nutrient control in water bodies is a long-term process. Moreover, some odor-producing algae can acquire nutrients from the bottom of the water column, allowing them to thrive even in relatively nutrient-poor conditions.
