Recommendations include the use of PAC addition, address seasonal T&O events, monitor production trends, maintain chlorine residuals and minimize stagnant water, monitor microcystin based on the dynamic nature of cyanobacteria blooms, and use GC/MS SPME for T&O analyses and ELISA for microcystin analyses. |
