Episode Synopsis "Delta Drinking Water Quality and Treatment Costs"

This presentation by Wei-Hsiang Chen from the UC Davis John Muir Institute for the Environment explores the current and long-term effects of Delta export water quality on drinking water treatment cost and any public health risks from the disinfection process. Salinity, organic carbons, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) and pesticides/herbicides are of primary interest.
