New Solution To Rid Lakes And Reservoirs Of Toxic Algae Presented By World-Renowned Expert

It’s the start of nail-biting season for many cities and counties. As municipalities reopen lakes and reservoirs for public access, they restart a harrowing cycle of monitoring for harmful algae blooms (HABs), announcing closures, and applying costly chemical treatments. The cycle repeats continuously.

The price of failure is high: ecological degradation, depressed property values, and the production of liver toxins and neurotoxins that can damage human health.

Dr. Wayne Carmichael presents a new solution combining nature-based processes with biotechnology to clear lakes and reservoirs. By activating biological processes to digest built-up sediment and reoxygenate all levels of the water column, this new approach effectively starves out, and eliminates, excess algae in a matter of weeks.

Dr. Carmichael will share his research on these new methods in the Welcome Plenary session at the upcoming International Conference on Toxic Cyanobacteria:

• May 22, 2022, Bowling Green State University, Toledo, OH

He will also present findings in a “Harmful Algae and Eutrophication” session at the Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting:

• May 20, 2022, DeVos Place Convention Center, Grand Rapids, MI

Global Water Works invites media to interview Dr. Carmichael about his newest studies before or during these conference appearances.

“During my decades in the field, we’ve been successful monitoring for toxic HABS and putting out notifications to prevent exposure,” Carmichael said. “I’m grateful the innovation has caught up with nature, and we’re seeing a means to prevent or permanently remediate algae blooms in sites across the world. I look forward to discussing this new paradigm with those who attend the industry’s leading conferences.”

Mary Conley Eggert, Co-Executive Director of Global Water Works, affirmed Carmichael’s impact and forward-thinking approach. “Dr. Carmichael has over 40 years’ experience, investigating and carrying out primary research on toxic cyanobacteria and is recognized as a top expert worldwide. We are thrilled he has agreed to lend his knowledge and expertise to support the Eradication of HABS, and we’ve set up a special group in the Global Water Works Platform to ensure all can access the success stories, tools and technologies that are supporting this new paradigm: https://bit.ly/GWWHABS."
