Algae Monitoring & Control in Dams and Reservoirs
Algal blooms in dams and reservoirs raise treatment costs, cause taste and odour problems and can release toxins. Chlorophyll a indicates green algae; phycocyanin indicates blue-green algae (cyanobacteria).

Common questions
Can algae be controlled without chemicals?
Ultrasonic systems such as the MPC-Buoy use low-power sound waves, adjusted to real-time water-quality data, to limit algal growth without adding chemicals.
