Global warming, human activities and eutrophication of water bodies have degraded the quality of freshwater sources in Canada. Increased presence of nuisance algal/cyanobacterial blooms in water supply systems constitute a substantial part of our new environmental challenges. Currently utilities sample for taxonomy with a delay of 24 to 48 hours before learning about the results and potential presence of cyanobacteria, and their associated toxins and taste and odour compounds at their intake. These delays have caused breakthrough of cells, taste and odour compounds, and toxins into treated water due to late adjustment of treatment processes. PReautech is a specialist in odour management and instrumentation in the water field. It works with Canadian utilities to modify their water quality monitoring processes for safe drinking water production. Offering a real-time measurement of taste and odour compounds and toxins will be a game changer for PReautech and Canadian water industry. Thus our objectives are: (Obj-1) to create a real-time cyanobacterial measurement model, (Obj-2) to validate the model using laboratory scenarios, and (Obj-3) to apply this model in field. The application of the results from this study aim to change PReautech and other Canadian environmental companies/consultants business practices to increase positive conversations about enhanced and innovative services that can optimize cost-savings while maintaining regulatory compliance for safe production and distribution of drinking water. ******

全球变暖、人类活动和水体富营养化使加拿大淡水资源的质量下降。供水系统中令人讨厌的藻类/蓝藻水华的增加构成了我们新的环境挑战的重要组成部分。目前，公用事业公司在得知结果和蓝藻的潜在存在及其相关毒素以及摄入时的味道和气味化合物之前，会延迟24至48小时进行分类取样。由于处理过程的后期调整，这些延迟导致细胞、味道和气味化合物以及毒素进入处理过的水中。PReautech是水领域气味管理和仪器的专家。它与加拿大公用事业公司合作，修改其水质监测程序，以生产安全饮用水。提供味道和气味化合物和毒素的实时测量将改变PReautech和加拿大水行业的游戏规则。因此，我们的目标是：（目标1）建立实时蓝藻测量模型，（目标2）使用实验室场景验证模型，（目标3）将该模型应用于现场。这项研究结果的应用旨在改变PReautech和其他加拿大环境公司/顾问的商业实践，以增加关于增强和创新服务的积极对话，这些服务可以优化成本节约，同时保持饮用水安全生产和分配的合规性。 ******
