DRINKING WATER SUPPLY UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF MASS DEVELOPMENT OF BLUE-GREEN ALGAE IN RESERVOIRS by Ksenia V. Bespalova, Aleksandra V. Selezneva, Vladimir. A. Seleznev

“…An assessment of the pollution of a surface source of water supply (the Kuibyshev reservoir) with metabolites of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) under conditions of an increase in biogenic load is carried out. During the period of mass development of cyanobacteria, the quality of water in the reservoir deteriorates in terms of a number of indicators, including smell, taste, and content of organic and toxic substances. …”
