Global environmental changes caused by a warmer climate can be combatted on a local level. The quality of our drinking water can be improved before it reaches water purification facilities and consumers through local efforts that minimise the growth of toxic algae and cyanobacteria in lakes. BECC researchers Pablo Urrutia Cordero and Lars-Anders Hansson, Lund University, have recently published th
