Funded Activity Summary

Physico-chemical Controls on Growth, Toxicity and Succession of Microcystis and Anabaena Species in Sydney Water Supply Reservoirs. Insight into the forms of nutrients that are most readily assimilated by Microcystis and Anabaena species prevalent in Lake Burragorang and other Sydney water supply reservoirs will assist in determining the key drivers to occurrence of blooms of these organisms, particularly when combined with an understanding of the spatial and temporal distribution of the forms of nutrients, the dynamics of transformation between these various forms and the key parameters of light and temperature. In addition, the particular forms in which nutrients are acquired may influence the extent of toxin production. Thus, the findings of the project will also assist in elucidating the conditions under which toxin generation is expected.
