WaterTOP - Main directions

How can we manage the T&O problems in water?▪ Sensory evaluation

▪ Chemical analysis, identification, diagnosis.

▪ Risk assessment, impacts.

▪ Prevention, control measures.

Can T&O serve as early warning for water quality problems?▪ Geosmin, MIB and cyanotoxins?

▪ Off-odors and industrial pollution incidents?

▪ Citizen science?

▪ Sensors
