"Over five million people rely on western Lake Ontario for potable water. Each summer there is an episode of earthy taste and odour in the drinking water that forces local utilities to spend millions of dollars on systems to ameliorate the problem. The earthy taste and odour is caused by geosmin, a secondary metabolite of some Cyanobacteria and Actinomycete bacteria. Recent extensive field studies were undertaken to document the lake physics before and during the taste and odour event to understand better the processes controlling the delivery of geosmin to the water treatment plant intakes"--Abstract.
