Empirical Models for Disinfection By-Products in Lakes and Reservoirs

Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 123, Issue 7

Abstract

Simple budget models and correlations have been useful in providing order-of-magnitude estimates of eutrophication variables and toxic organic chemicals in lakes and reservoirs. A similar approach is used here to develop correlations to support management of phosphorus-limited, drinking-water supplies.
