Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a method for eliminating two significant water contamination concerns: algae and some disease-causing bacteria. Although algae pose a threat to water sources worldwide, their impact is particularly significant in the United States, where thousands of reservoirs have been affected by these organisms. The author details the impact of algae contamination on human health, including the foul odors and tastes produced by these plants, and the economic burden associated with treating affected water supplies. The book also highlights the ineffectiveness of current solutions, such as covering reservoirs or removing organic matter, and emphasizes the crucial need for more effective methods. Drawing on extensive research and experimentation, the book demonstrates the effectiveness of copper sulfate in destroying algae and certain bacteria, even at extremely dilute concentrations. It provides practical guidance on applying this method to different types of water bodies, including small lakes, ponds, and large reservoirs. The author emphasizes that this treatment is both inexpensive and harmless to humans and animals, making it an ideal solution for water purification.
