ASDWA and USGS announce the first in a series of webinars for ASDWA members and others to learn about the activities and products of the US Geological Survey that support the work of state drinking water programs. The initial webinar will provide an overview, and future webinars will dig deeper into topics like HABs, water quality, and water quality monitoring and modeling. Look for announcements for future webinars later in the year.

Currently, non-enforceable USEPA Health Advisories are available for some cyanotoxins in finished drinking. Decision makers need to balance the management of contaminants that are regulated and unregulated in drinking water, as well as the costs of achieving treatment targets. This webinar will focus on cyanotoxin occurrence and potential exposures in the Nation’s surface water resources.

This webinar will cover the spectrum of chemical and microbial contaminants in raw (source) water, to treated water, to water at the tap. The webinar will be presented in three segments to address key issues and questions of drinking water quality. The segments include Groundwater Sources, Water Quality from Source Through Treatment, Water Quality from Distribution to the Consumer.
