Water quality in reservoirs
I'm a researcher in the National University of Colombia working in
a project related to water quality in reservoirs, specifically on
eutrophicated reservoirs. I would like to establish contacts with
people working on mechanisms for algae control. I'm also interested
in reported experiences (real life cases) on this topic.
