这篇简短的两页纸的论文讨论了藻类对饮用水水质的影响，并提到了藻类的特征，包括:非点源营养物质对藻类的影响；藻类生长如何引起味道和气味；毒素及其对健康的影响；对处理过程的影响，如混凝、沉淀、澄清、过滤器堵塞、消毒剂残留损失；消毒副产品前体；此外，还提出了一种控制藻类相关问题的多屏障方法，该方法将流域管理、水库处理和处理厂改造结合起来。

This brief two page paper discusses the effect of algae on drinking water quality, and mentions algal characteristics that include: effect of nutrients from nonpoint sources on algae; how algal growth causes tastes and odors; toxins and their health effects; effect on treatment processes such as coagulation, sedimentation, clarification, filter clogging, loss of disinfectant residual; precursors for disinfection byproducts; and, a multiple barrier approach for control of algal related problems that integrates watershed management, in-reservoir treatment and treatment plant modifications.
