Mitigating the effects of high biomass algal blooms on the drinking water intakes of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina
Published 2014“…Three-dimensional hydrodynamic and ecological modelling was used to explore strategies to mitigate the impacts of high biomass algal blooms (Aulacoseira sp.) on the drinking water intakes of the city of Buenos Aires, in the Río de la Plata. An automated real-time and a four-day forecast warning system was implemented in 2010 in order to predict the occurrence of such blooms near the intakes. …”
