Abstract: In early August 2014, the municipality of Toledo, OH (USA) issued a ‘do not drink’ advisory on their water supply directly affecting over 400,000 residential customers and hundreds of businesses (Wilson, 2014) This order was attributable to levels of microcystin, a potent liver toxin, which rose to 25 mg L1 in finished drinking water The Toledo crisis afforded an opportunity to bring together scientists from around the world to share ideas regarding factors that contribute to bloom formation and toxigenicity, bloom and toxin detection as well as prevention and remediation of bloom events These discussions took place at an NSF- and NOAA-sponsored workshop at Bowling Green State University on April 13 and 14, 2015 In all, more than 100 attendees from six countries and 15 US states gathered together to share their perspectives The purpose of this review is to present the consensus summary of these issues that emerged from discussions at the Workshop As additional reports in this special issue provide detailed reviews on many major CHAB species, this paper focuses on the general themes common to all blooms, such as bloom detection, modeling, nutrient loading, and strategies to reduce nutrients

Seasonal impact of constructed wetlands on nitrogen and phosphorus in sediments of flood control lakes with pollution assessment.
Xiao Li,Xinlin Liu,Yang Huang,Yulong Zhang +3 more
TL;DR: The seasonal impact of constructed wetlands on nitrogen and phosphorus in sediments of flood control lakes with pollution assessment reveals that elevated summer temperatures and the presence of wetland vegetation promote the release of N through nitrification, while seasonal variations significantly impact the distribution of P storage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the risk associated to E. coli and cyanobacteria in a large South American Reservoir heavily used for recreation, by gathering field environmental data from two water agencies (six sites, summers 2011-2015), generating satellite data at landscape scale (750 km2, summer 2011-2017) and running a health survey related to water exposure (summer 2017).
Variability of summer cyanobacteria abundance: can season-ahead forecasts improve beach management?
TL;DR: Beal et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a statistical model utilizing local and global scale season-ahead hydroclimatic predictors to evaluate the potential for informative cyanobacteria biomass and associated beach closure forecasts across the June-August season for a eutrophic lake in Wisconsin.
Pulse Feature-Enhanced Classification of Microalgae and Cyanobacteria Using Polarized Light Scattering and Fluorescence Signals
Ran Bi,Jianxiong Yang,Chengqi Huang,Xiaoyu Zhang,Ran Liao,Hui Ma +5 more
TL;DR: Pulse Feature-Enhanced Classification (PFEC) of microalgae and cyanobacteria using polarized light scattering and fluorescence signals is a highly accurate method for classifying aquatic particles. PFEC utilizes 38 pulse features extracted from the simultaneous detection of polarized light scattering and fluorescence signals to achieve an accuracy of 89.03%.
