Harmful Algal bloom webinar series

Managing Harmful Algal Blooms in Recreational Lakes and Reservoirs

21 July 2026  · 16:30 CEST | 10:30 AM EDT | 07:30 AM PDT ·

Speakers:   Dr. E.J. Neafsey & Ally Berry

Harmful algal blooms threaten the safety of lakes and reservoirs used for recreation and fisheries. This webinar covers what drives bloom formation and how ultrasonic technology suppresses cyanobacteria without chemical inputs, alongside integrated approaches such as monitoring and nutrient management.

This webinar includes a  Q&A session  and a  downloadable Recreational Lake Guide 2026 .

About The Webinar

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are an increasing challenge for drinking water reservoirs, wastewater lagoons, industrial cooling ponds, and recreational lakes. These events can affect water quality, increase treatment pressure, create taste and odor problems, and disrupt normal operations. This  webinar series on harmful algal blooms  explores practical approaches to managing bloom-forming cyanobacteria in managed water systems.

Across four sessions, participants will learn about the environmental drivers of blooms and how ultrasonic technology can help suppress cyanobacterial dominance and stabilize water quality without chemical treatment. Each webinar includes real-world insights on bloom dynamics, system deployment considerations, and operational outcomes in reservoirs, lagoons, and other surface waters.

Who Should Attend the Harmful Algal Bloom Webinar?

This  harmful algal bloom webinar series  is intended for professionals responsible for managing water quality in reservoirs and surface water systems, including:

• Drinking water utilities
• Water authorities and reservoir managers
• Environmental regulators and consultants
• Wastewater treatment operators
• Industrial water system managers
• Mining and power facility water managers
